Should you see a specialist for your TMJ-related pain?
If you’ve been wondering about this, you’re not alone. Many patients come to us unsure of the next step for their discomfort.
Ask yourself these questions:
• Have your TMD symptoms been going on for more than a few weeks?
• Have you tried treatment with little or no relief?
• Are your symptoms affecting your daily life?
• Are you experiencing multiple symptoms like headaches, facial pain, or trouble sleeping?
If you answered “yes” to any of these, it may be time to see an Orofacial Pain Specialist.
Orofacial Pain Specialists, like Dr. Guthrie, are trained in multiple areas of medicine and dentistry, enabling them to better understand and treat complex chronic pain conditions, such as TMJ Disorders. They can also help identify underlying factors that may be worsening your symptoms, including related conditions and lifestyle habits.
