TMJ Treatment for Chronic Jaw Pain in Los Angeles
TMJ disorder (TMD) is a chronic condition that requires expert care. At Noho Dental Group, our experienced dental team understands how TMD can affect your daily life—causing jaw pain, headaches, and discomfort. We provide personalized TMJ treatment in Los Angeles to help relieve symptoms and restore your comfort and jaw function.
TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) is often confused with TMJ, which refers to the actual joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. Everyone has two TMJs—one on each side of the face. While the exact cause of TMD can be hard to pinpoint, the symptoms are real, painful, and often chronic. Common signs of TMD include jaw or ear pain, neck or shoulder tension, frequent headaches or migraines, popping or clicking when opening the mouth, chewing discomfort, and even throat pain. Proper management is essential—and it starts with the right dental team.
At Noho Dental Group, we offer expert TMJ treatment in Los Angeles for those suffering from this long-term, painful condition. Our team creates customized treatment plans to reduce discomfort and improve daily life. While there may be no permanent cure for TMD, we utilize proven treatments including night guards, bite correction, anti-inflammatory therapy, and—when necessary—oral surgery.

How to Know If You Need TMJ Treatment in Los Angeles
Frequent tension headaches, migraines, or light-headedness could be linked to TMJ dysfunction. In some cases, nausea may also occur.
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus), earaches, or even muffled hearing can stem from inflammation around the jaw joint.
Persistent pain in your jaw joint or facial muscles—especially when talking, eating, or yawning—is a key indicator of TMD.
Swelling on one side of your face or difficulty opening or closing your jaw may signal a serious TMJ issue that needs attention.
TMJ issues can affect surrounding muscles, causing tightness or sharp pain in your neck and shoulders during movement.
Muscle spasms associated with TMD can make chewing and swallowing painful or temporarily difficult.
“Wow—what a relief! I was referred to Noho Dental Group through my insurance, and I came in with severe jaw pain that I just couldn’t take anymore. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and got my paperwork and insurance sorted quickly. I met with the dentist and then the oral surgeon—both were so kind, gentle, and truly understood how much pain I was in. They made me feel heard and cared for from start to finish!”
