Treatment for TMJ Problems in Valley Ranch, Irving, TX
The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are better known as your jaws. Unfortunately, these joints are often prone to problems like stiffness, soreness, popping, clicking, and locking. Collectively called temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), this syndrome can lead to chronic headaches, difficulty chewing and speaking, and intense pain.
Sometimes surgery is required to resolve TMD, but there are also conservative options. Dr. Aggarwal offers minimally-invasive interventions for TMD that can have your jaws pain-free and functional again. Treatment begins with a comprehensive examination and an assessment of the cause of your TMJ issues.
