"Dr. Reaves, how are TMJ disorders caused?"
The exact cause of the
disorder is unknown. Some factors are related to an improper bite, injury,
arthritis, severe stress, or a combination of factors. Clenching or
grinding teeth, a condition called bruxism, may develop from stress or as
part of a sleep disorder.
This can tire muscles and create painful spasms, causing even more
pain. Repeated muscle problems may affect the joints, resulting in
tissue damage, muscle tenderness, and more spasm, perpetuating a cycle
of pain.
For more information about how we can help you with TMJ problems, call
us at (727) 585-3858, we will be happy to help you.

*Minimal sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and during dental
procedures that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and anxiety, while still maintaining normal breathing and the
ability to respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
