What is TMD?

TMD stands for Temporomandibular Disorders, a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement. Symptoms may include jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and clicking or locking of the jaw. These disorders can arise from issues such as jaw injury, arthritis, or excessive teeth grinding.

What are the benefits of taking this treatment?

Treatment for TMD aims to relieve pain, restore normal jaw function, and prevent recurrence of symptoms. Benefits include improved ability to eat, speak, and chew comfortably, reduction in chronic pain and discomfort, and improved overall quality of life. Treatment plans are tailored to individual needs and can significantly enhance your daily functioning and health.

Who is a good candidate for TMD treatment?

Good candidates for TMD treatment include individuals experiencing persistent pain or dysfunction in the jaw, face, or neck area, those who hear clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw, or have trouble opening or closing their mouth. It's essential for candidates to undergo a thorough evaluation by a dental professional to determine the specific nature of their TMD and the most appropriate treatment plan.

"I had a fantastic experience at Shore Smiles with Maria and Dr. Brianna. The team was professional, friendly, and made me feel at ease throughout my visit. Maria was thorough and gentle during the cleaning, and Dr. Brianna provided excellent care and clear explanations. Highly recommend!"

Tin N

"Highly recommend shore smiles! I was a new patient 2 years ago, after moving to VB. It was the first time in my life I had to go to a new dentist and I was very nervous. I’m so happy I chose SS though! The staff is so genuinely lovely. I’ve been seen by Dr. Christian Mullin & Dr. Brianna Albers and they are both super kind, informative, and thorough. The hygienists are also great to work with! Again, I highly recommend!"

Alyssa P

"My first visit as a new patient was awesome! Everyone was pleasant and welcoming, and Dr. Mullin is the best. He took time to explain his findings and provided options without making me feel pressured. He also has a great sense of humor and had me laughing! His assistant, Lisa, is awesome! She was very kind and patient with me while doing my X-rays. I am never going back to Aspen Dental!!!"

Felicia G

Each one is personable, friendly, and kind! Most definitely, Shore Smiles is the BEST I have ever experienced in my 60+ years!!!  My teeth are HAPPY at last!"

"This place is absolutely fantastic. The front staff is top tier- they go over all options for you, answer all questions with patience and care while also offering help and solutions you wouldn't have thought to ask for. The dentist is very friendly, super prompt, and took lovely care of my son. I look forward to my families future dental care with this office!"

Kimberly S

"This was my first time coming to Shore Smiles/doing an appointment on my own. I came here yesterday for an exam, I was very nervous as it has been a while since I've gone to the dentist, and I wasn't a big fan of going to the dentist. The dental assistant Lisa was the sweetest, she would always make sure that I was comfortable and even understood that I was nervous, I really appreciated everything that she did during my visit. Dr Mullen was very kind and very funny as well which made the whole exam help me feel less anxious. They both answered all the different questions I had with kindness. Once the exam was over I met with Beth and she was also very sweet and funny."
