TMD or Temporomandibular disorders is a group of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles that control jaw movement. TMD can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty in jaw movement, which can make daily activities like eating and speaking challenging.
If you are experiencing symptoms of TMD, seeking prompt treatment from a skilled dentist is crucial. At Srishti Dental Clinic, Dr. Manasa and her dedicated team specialise in providing exceptional TMD/TMJ treatment in Sujatha Nagar Vizag.
The indications of TMD include jaw pain or discomfort, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, difficulty in opening or closing the mouth, headaches, and earaches. TMD can be caused by several factors such as teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or a misaligned bite.
At Srishti Dental Clinic, Dr. Manasa will perform a comprehensive examination of the jaw and surrounding muscles to determine the extent of the problem and develop a personalised treatment plan. Treatment options for TMD may include lifestyle changes, medications, or oral appliances.
For mild to moderate cases of TMD, Dr. Manasa may recommend lifestyle changes like stress reduction techniques, jaw exercises, or changes in diet. She may also prescribe medication such as pain relievers or muscle relaxants to alleviate pain and inflammation.

For more severe cases of TMD, Dr. Manasa may suggest using oral appliances like mouthguards or splints, which are designed to reduce teeth grinding and jaw clenching, which can contribute to TMD.

By addressing the underlying causes of TMD and developing a personalised treatment plan for each patient, Dr. Manasa can help patients achieve optimal oral health and a more comfortable, functional jaw.
