Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal therapy focuses on treating gum disease and restoring the health of the tissues that support your teeth. When bacteria build up below the gumline, they can lead to inflammation, bleeding, and bone loss if untreated. This treatment removes harmful buildup and helps the gums heal while preventing further damage. With expert periodontal care, patients can protect the foundation of their smile and reduce the risk of tooth loss.
TMJ/TMD Treatment & Jaw Pain
TMJ treatment addresses problems in the temporomandibular joint, which controls how your jaw moves. Issues in this area can lead to pain, clicking, headaches, and difficulty chewing. Treatment may include custom appliances, bite adjustments, or therapy to reduce strain and improve alignment. As part of comprehensive periodontal care in Greenwich, CT, we evaluate how bite and jaw function impact overall oral health.
Botox for TMJ & Jaw Tension
Botox is used as a non-surgical solution to relieve muscle tension caused by clenching or grinding. By relaxing overactive jaw muscles, it can reduce discomfort, headaches, and strain. This treatment is quick and precise, often used alongside other TMJ therapies. Many patients experience noticeable relief and improved daily comfort.
