Dr. Fama the staff do a great job of explaining what kind issues I am having with my teeth, how best to treat them and what I can expect the cost will be before they do the work. Everyone is very nice! It was actually almost enjoyable when I got a root canal.
As fall brings more stress from school, work, and the holiday season, you may notice increased jaw pain or teeth grinding. TMJ disorder and bruxism can significantly affect your daily life, but Allouez Family Dental can help so you can enjoy the season without TMJ pain.
Recognizing TMJ Disorder
TMJ disorder occurs when there’s pain and limited movement in the jaw joint, often resulting in persistent headaches, jaw stiffness, and ear discomfort. You might also hear clicking or popping when you chew or talk.
Over time, untreated TMJ disorder can lead to worn teeth, muscle tension, and sleep disruptions.
Teeth Grinding’s Impact
Grinding your teeth, especially at night, can lead to significant damage. This habit often results in tooth wear, fractures, and increased sensitivity.
It can result in facial pain and headaches, which can disrupt your focus and make it harder to stay productive throughout the day.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, we offer solutions such as custom night guards and jaw treatments to ease the strain and protect your teeth. Our treatments are designed to help restore comfort and prevent long-term damage.
