Are you suffering from any of the following symptoms?
You May Be Experiencing TMD
(Temporomandibular Joint Disorder)
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Ear ache
- Jaw pain when opening mouth
- Jaw pain when biting or chewing
- Jaw pain on one side
- Stiff jaw
- Sore jaw
- Swelling in the jaw
- Pain under ear
- Face hurts on one side
- Jaw hurts in morning
- Jaw popping
- Headaches and migraines
- Wisdom tooth pain
- Locked jaw
Every one of these symptoms can be caused by a disorder in the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) which lies right in front of your ear.
This joint can suffer from inflammation, dislocation, arthritis, injury to the cartilage and other problems. The symptoms in the list above are often the result.
TMJ problems can be so chronic and severe that they create tightness, stress, pain and misery every day. Mealtimes can be traumatic from all the pain. In cases like this, it’s vital to find a solution—fast.
TMD is treatable
Lasting relief from TMD is possible.
Relief starts when the exact cause of the TMJ problem is found. Dr. Bernard Lynch of Dental Care Burke in Virginia has been trained in neuromuscular dentistry. This training gives him precise tools to detect problems in the jaw and the TMJ. He knows just how to correct TMD to eliminate the root cause of the problem, not just relieve it for a week or a month.
How are TMJ problems treated
The treatment depends on the cause that shows up from a detailed evaluation. Eliminating this cause might require realigning the teeth or contouring some of the teeth to change the way the jaws meet when you bite. If your bite is off, this pulls your lower jaw out of its ideal position. Muscles are stressed and spasms result.
A night guard is sometimes needed to prevent the teeth from being ground together at night. Some night guards also help shift the lower jaw into a more stress-free position.
Low-frequency electrical stimulation of the muscles can also address the facial, jaw, neck and shoulder tightness that results in headaches and migraines. There are even TMJ exercises and massage techniques that can help correct this pain and stiffness.

"I love Dr. Lynch AND his staff! (Josh is the best - always helpful - follows through - even texts on his day off!) I started treatment for various issues - fillings, crown replacement, etc. When my two front teeth continually needed repairs for chips that were filled (due to the nature of the chip location - and from previous dentists), Dr. Lynch explained that I needed crowns. I will admit, I was TERRIFIED, but they turned out beautifully. My teeth are actually prettier than before, and no one even noticed that I had crowns. I would trust Dr. Lynch's suggestion on anything that I needed. He's the best dentist that I've ever encountered, bar none!"

"I had been very anxious about my teeth for some time before visiting Dr. Lynch’s office. Age, finances and no dental insurance had my teeth in a terrible state. The staff was so friendly and caring that I was soon put at ease.
Dr. Lynch took extra time to discuss my situation and explain all the options available to me. I left feeling quite confident that I had made the right choice in choosing Dr Lynch’s office and would recommend him to anyone."
