Nighttime jaw pain can steal more than your rest.
Many patients don't realize that chronic jaw clenching during sleep puts enormous stress on the temporomandibular joint, surrounding muscles, and even nearby nerves. Over time, this can lead to headaches, ear pain, and difficulty opening your mouth in the morning.
When conservative approaches like mouthguards and physical therapy haven't provided lasting relief, a specialist evaluation can uncover structural issues that need a different solution. Dr. Ivan Georgiev uses CBCT 3D imaging to assess joint damage and bone changes that standard exams can miss.
For patients in Cranford seeking TMJ treatment from a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, a thorough diagnostic workup is the first step toward real answers.
