TMJ / TMD Care

Dr. Michael Bixby, located in Red Bank New Jersey, offers professional care and treatment for those diagnosed with TMJ / TMD. New Jersey TMJ patients come to trust the Michael Bixby 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 sometimes 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
