Jawbone and TMJ Surgeries in Lighthouse Point, FL

Helping Patients in Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale

Did you know that your TMJ is the most used joint in your entire body? The TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, is the hinge connecting your lower jaw to your skull. This joint allows you to move your jaw up and down, side to side, and even circularly. Because we use our TMJs so often throughout the day (for talking, eating, yawning, etc.), it’s not surprising that they are prone to developing problems. At the Oral Surgery Center of Lighthouse Point, we frequently see patients with TMJ disorders.

What Is TMJ Treatment?

According to the American Academy of Orofacial Pain, there are three main types of treatment for TMJ disorders: medical management, occlusal (bite) appliances, and surgery. Each one is outlined in detail below:

Medical management: This type of TMJ treatment involves the use of medication to control pain and inflammation. Commonly prescribed medications include muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories, and painkillers. Injections of corticosteroids into the TMJ may also be recommended in some cases.

Occlusal appliances: Also known as bite plates or splints, these devices are worn over the teeth and work to realign the bite. This helps to ease strain on the TMJ and can provide relief from pain and other symptoms.

Surgery: In severe cases of TMJ disorder, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace the joint. This is typically a last resort option, but it may be recommended in some cases.

Signs You Need TMJ Treatment

There are a number of different symptoms that can indicate a need for TMJ treatment. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s important to see an oral surgeon or other TMJ specialist:

Pain in the jaw, face, neck, or shoulders

Clicking or popping sounds when you move your jaw

Jaw that locks in place or becomes stuck

Difficulty chewing or pain when chewing

Swelling on the side of your face

Earache or ringing in the ears (tinnitus)

The TMJ Treatment Process

If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, the first step is to schedule a consultation with an oral surgeon or other TMJ specialist. During your consultation, your doctor will perform a thorough examination of your mouth, jaw, and face. They may also order X-rays or other imaging tests to get a better look at the joint.


Once a diagnosis has been made, your doctor will work with you to develop a treatment plan. This may involve a combination of different approaches, depending on the severity of your condition. In some cases, simple lifestyle changes (such as avoiding hard foods or chewing gum) may be enough to ease symptoms. In other cases, more aggressive treatment (such as surgery) may be necessary.
