Temporomandibular joint disease or more easily known as TMD

March 27, 2014

This is a debilitating problem that can cause headaches, jaw pain and a host of other problems

Temporomandibular joint disease can be described as an inflammation of the temporomandibular joint which connects the lower jaw to the base of the skull. It can sometimes be be caused or worsened by grinding.

Relief for TMD is possible…

At Orchard Dental we first analyse if you have a grinding habit (either past or present) and then determine the best mode of treatment for you.

If required, we can offer grinding (occlusal) splints which can help prevent damage from grinding and reduce TMD.

To discover more about TMD, how we can treat it or if you would like to book an appointment, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Your child’s first encounter with a dentist is the most important as it has the potential to shape their attitude towards dentistry for life

Our oral health is so important: research is being done to further explore the links between oral health issues and other health problems such as heart disease.

At Orchard Dental we endeavour to make your child’s dental appointments memorable for all the right reasons…

Encouraging children to take an active role in their oral health is important to us at Orchard Dental. At Orchard Dental we make visiting the dentist fun and comfortable for kids so they will have no problems coming back.
