We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and professional cleaning, or more frequently if you have ongoing dental issues.
Your initial dental appointment is crucial. Expect a thorough examination, including checking your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. The dentist may take X-rays and discuss any necessary treatments or preventive measures. Don’t hesitate to ask questions during this visit.

TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. TMJ disorders involve pain or dysfunction in this joint.
Common symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping when you chew, facial soreness, and difficulty opening your mouth fully.
Treatment options include bite splints, physical therapy, medication, and in some cases, surgery. We tailor treatment to your specific condition.
