TMJ / TMD
Specialists

Doctors Michael and John Bixby, located in Little Silver New Jersey, offer professional care and treatment for those diagnosed with TMJ / TMD. New Jersey residents have come to trust the Atlantic Center for Advanced Dentistry for their knowledge of Neuromuscular Dentistry.

Neuromuscular Dentistry can help alleviate symptoms such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, jaw pain, clicking or popping in the jaw, and tinnitus or ringing in the ears. The majority of North Americans suffer from one or more of these symptoms, and unfortunately in many cases these patients' symptoms are either misdiagnosed or dismissed as having no physiological cause.

In a number of cases, these symptoms can actually be attributed to:

  • TMJ - Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome
  • TMD - Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
  • MPD - Myofascial Pain Dysfunction

These terms are just different names for a common group of symptoms.  These can include:

  • TMJ ( temporomandibular joint syndrome )
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Sinus problems
  • Tinnitus ( ringing in ears )
  • Unexplained loose teeth
  • Worn, chipped or cracked teeth
  • Cracking, chipping or breaking dental restorations
  • Pain or soreness around the jaw joints
  • Pain in teeth that seems to move around
  • Stiffness or soreness in the neck, shoulders and back,
    sometimes radiating down your arm to your fingers
  • Snoring
  • Vertigo ( dizziness )
  • Clicking or grating sounds in the jaw joints
  • Limited movement or locking jaw
  • Congestion or stuffiness of the ears, or subjective hearing loss
