Start with a conversation about your jaw.
Discuss jaw discomfort, clenching, or grinding with your dental team. A consultation is an opportunity to review your concerns, ask questions, and plan an appropriate next step.
What to discuss at your consultation
- When the discomfort began and what seems to bring it on.
- Any changes you have noticed when chewing or opening your mouth.
- Clenching or grinding you have noticed, including during sleep.
- Previous dental care, injuries, or treatment related to your concerns.
An evaluation before a treatment plan
Your dentist will review your symptoms and dental history and explain the next steps in your assessment. Any treatment or referral recommendation depends on your individual findings.
Plan your visit
Call the office to ask about TMJ and jaw pain consultation availability and what records to bring. Share your main concern when scheduling so the team can help you prepare.
