In a physical exam, the doctor will inquire about your complaints and medical background. They will also examine the structure of your mouth and bite, as well as the jaw. The dentist may recommend an imaging scan to confirm the diagnosis. If the doctor concludes that the presence of a TMJ issue is the root of your discomfort the doctor will recommend the treatment method. Options for non-surgical treatment include relaxation techniques, physiotherapy as well as medication. The options are specifically tailored to your requirements and objectives.
