TMJ Jaw Pain Relief

Does your jaw ache and cause you constant pain? You may be suffering from temporomandibular joint syndrome, or TMJ/TMD. Jaw pain is one of the many symptoms associated with TMJ, and the most common. At Bob Perkins, DDS, we offer specialized treatment for jaw pain and other symptoms of TMJ syndrome that can give you immediate relief. We serve the greater Los Angeles area at our office in Burbank, CA.

When your jaw hurts, it is hard to concentrate, sleep or enjoy your life. It can be painful to talk, laugh, eat or enjoy a tasty beverage. The jaw is a complex mechanism which can be impacted by many issues. When your bite is misaligned or too much pressure is on your jaw, you can feel pain and discomfort that will not go away without treatment. Our TMJ specialist can offer jaw pain relief. Resetting the jaw and creating balance in the mechanism can relieve pressure and stop your jaw pain for good.

When you have jaw pain that will not subside, it can be caused by many different factors. Dr. Perkins has spent decades specializing in treating TMJ syndrome, including jaw pain and dysfunction.
