Relief for TMJ and sleep apnea
If you have difficulty biting or chewing, snore or experience frequent head, neck or tooth aches, you may be suffering from one of several disorders of the nerves or joints of the jaw. These disorders often go undiagnosed, leading sufferers on a merry-go-round of medical visits and tests.
Fortunately, relief is available. Dr. Kaplan, who is widely recognized as an expert in TMJ treatment and orofacial pain, will conduct a comprehensive examination to diagnose the source of your discomfort—and recommend ways to alleviate it.
To learn more, please select from the following conditions:
- TMJ: If you have difficulty biting or chewing or experience frequent head and neck pain, you may be suffering from a temporomandibular disorder, also known as “TMJ” or “TMD.”
- Orofacial Pain: If you have persistent tooth pain even though there is no rational explanation, burning pain in your face, tongue or mouth, headaches or migrating pain throughout your head, mouth and neck, you may have chronic orofacial pain (also referred to as “neuropathic pain,” “atypical odontalgia,” “phantom tooth pain” and “atypical facial pain”).
- Snoring and Sleep Apnea: If you are constantly tired during the day, can fall asleep at the movies or while driving or have a bed partner who complains that you snore too loudly, you may have sleep apnea.
