Yi-Tsu Cheng, D.D.S. & Associates in Chamblee, Georgia have announced that they are pleased to be offering TMJ treatment in Chamblee. The practice offers a wide range of dental services and holistic oral care services to those in Chamblee and the surrounding areas.
Dr. Cheng says, “TMJ is a disorder that can be very painful and it often requires specialized treatment. TMJ affects the jaw and is often noticed when the jaw pops while one is chewing. We have treated many patients with TMJ and offer a range of solutions to help minimize discomfort and that popping sound that the jaw makes in those who are affected by this disorder.”
The temporomandibular joint is affected by TMJ. For those with this disorder, the join causes pain in the jaw joint on one or both sides, as well as in the jaw muscles that control movement of the jaw. A popping sound is very common in those who are affected by TMJ. Typically, this sound is noticed before the pain or general discomfort that the disorder brings on. In those who have TMJ, the cartilage at the point of jaw movement wears away. The popping sound that they hear when chewing is actually the jaw bone rubbing against itself.
As a TMJ specialist Chamblee, Dr. Cheng and her team can help those who have TMJ through a number of solutions. In some cases, removing the wisdom teeth of the patient can help to minimize pain and discomfort. In more severe cases, surgery is needed in order to insert a substance that acts as the missing cartilage.
Dr. Cheng states that she and her team can diagnose and treat TMJ in patients. “The first thing to do is to get an actual diagnosis of the condition,” says Dr. Cheng. “Once we have determined that the patient actually suffers from TMJ, then we can work out a plan of action for treatment.”
The dental practice specializes in pediatric, surgical dentistry, cosmetic and general procedures. They also provide botox administration, which has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of TMJ, as well as migraine headaches and other disorders. They provide a full range of preventative and restorative dental procedures that include implants, cleanings, teeth whitening, dental crowns, root canals and many others.
The facility is equipped with the latest in dental technology, as well. They offer a full range of services which includes clinical examinations, x-rays, plaster teeth models, and more.
