Ansan Dongseo Dental Clinic: Jaw Pain Relief Review

For several months, I've been hearing a clicking sound in my jaw whenever I open my mouth, and the area next to my ear has been throbbing after prolonged talking or eating chewy foods. So, I sought advice from a TMJ specialist. They advised me to look at my bite and temporomandibular joint movement, not just my jaw pain, and I underwent a panoramic X-ray and a TMJ scan. They explained the current joint position and disc condition while I was looking at the screen, which was very helpful.
Treatment primarily involved medication to reduce inflammation, along with physical therapy to reduce jaw tension. Most importantly, I was advised to wear a custom splint and mouthpiece, which I made using a mold. This method, rather than forcing a change in bite, focused on guiding the joints into a comfortable position, making it less stressful. The thorough explanations provided throughout the treatment process, along with a step-by-step approach without over-treating, set me apart from other dental clinics.
After about two weeks of wearing the splint, my jaw pain in the mornings has definitely decreased, and the clicking noise I make when opening my mouth has also significantly decreased. Aside from a slight discomfort during the first few days as I adjust, the pain has been minimal. I was very satisfied with the dental clinic because they meticulously address jaw issues, not just dental issues, but also functional issues.
