"TMJ" stands for the Temporomandibular joints, which are the small joints in front of each ear that attach your lower jaw to your skull. They allow you to open and close your mouth, chew, speak, and swallowing.

There are different types of TMJ problems that respond to different methods of treatment. The multi-specialty dentists at Dental Partners of Boston are highly skilled in treating TMJ and can create a custom appliance to help alleviate your pain. There are no needles, no drugs, no tools in your mouth, just a proven solution to your TMJ symptoms.

To learn more about TMJ and to schedule a consultation, please make an appointment or contact our Boston dentist office or Brookline dentist office today.
