End Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Plano

If you experience chronic jaw pain, ear pain, persistent headaches, or sensitive teeth, you may be suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. If so, our team can relieve your pain with TMJ treatment in Plano.

Our treatment will:

  • Enable you to again enjoy normal range of motion with your jaw
  • Prevent jaw pain from spreading to your neck, shoulders, and other areas
  • Help you stop teeth grinding, a harmful habit often seen in TMJ disorder sufferers
  • Relieve headaches, earaches, and other related symptoms
  • Allow you to chew in comfort so you can eat whatever you want

Although TMJ disorder, or TMD, can be difficult to diagnose, Dr. Rick Barfield and a TMJ specialist have the experience to examine and properly diagnose you, treat your symptoms safely, and monitor your progress. Call 972-905-9266 for an appointment.

End Clenching, Grinding, & Jaw Pain With an Occlusal Splint

One of the most effective TMJ treatments is splint therapy, or night guard therapy. Splint therapy has been used for decades to help the lower jaw function more properly. We’ll fit you for a custom-made occlusal splint, an acrylic dental appliance that fits snugly over your teeth. The dental night guard keeps your upper and lower teeth from contacting each other while you sleep, which protects your teeth by preventing clenching and grinding.

It also allows the lower jaw to return to a comfortable position. As your jaw begins to relax with the guard, you’ll quickly notice reduced muscle and jaw pain. Wearing it every night gives your jaw a chance to fully heal.

Unlike store-bought dental night guards, which can wear down from teeth grinding, our high-quality acrylic night guard can provide you with TMJ relief for many years. In addition, our mouthguard is made to fit your teeth perfectly, which results in a safer, more comfortable, and more effective way to get rid of your TMJ pain.

Seek Help for TMJ Symptoms

TMJ disorder is characterized by a dull aching pain in your jaw joint. See us right away if you’re experiencing chronic jaw pain and/or these other symptoms:

  • Jaw fatigue
  • Inability to comfortably open your mouth
  • Clicking and popping in your jaw
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Pain in your ears, neck, shoulders, or back

For TMJ treatment in Plano, call 972-905-9266.

The deep cleaning that I’ve gone through with Dr. Barfield, actually it was my first experience having deep cleanings on my teeth. It was not painful at all. He was clearly very thorough and now I think I’m at a juncture where they feel like they have eradicated any problems that may have existed. He understands that going to a dentist can be traumatic to the extent that he just has a very calming and reassuring attitude. I recommend Dr. Barfield to anybody and everybody who is either seeking out a dentist or even mentions the fact that they have to go see a dentist and that happens quite often. I have sent several friends to Dr. Barfield over the past several years, I believe it’s probably been 10 years that we have been going to see Dr. Barfield and I feel like, not only has every one of them been satisfied but those people have all resulted in additional referrals as well. The standard of care is awesome and he is open early in the morning which is a big positive for me because I like to start my days early. I can get in normally at 7:00 in the morning for my appointments. He is also open on Saturday which is a huge convenience for us. So, all in all, it’s the perfect practice.
