TMJ Dentistry

Dr. Sid Solomon is a leading TMJ specialist in Los Angeles. He has extensive experience with successfully treating TMJ disorders for over 27 years.

Popular symptoms of TMJ often include relentless headaches, earaches, neck pain or stiffness, facial pain, or “clicking” or “popping” noises of the jaw joints. These symptoms, which are actually caused by a TMJ disorder, are frequently mistaken for other conditions. Thus, patients fruitlessly search from doctor to doctor looking for relief when they should be seeking treatment from a TMJ dentist.

TMJ is often caused by a misalignment of the jaw, which causes the TMJ joints and jaw muscles to overwork to bring the teeth together. Thus, to eliminate the pain, the jaw must be realigned to achieve the optimal bite. Dr. Solomon specializes in treating TMJ non-invasively ­– no drills, injections, or surgeries. First, he analyzes the intricate interactions between the TMJ joints, jaw muscles, and teeth using
Splinthighly precise and completely pain-free diagnostic tools such as electromyography (EMG) testing. Dr. Solomon uses this information to determine the proper bite or alignment of the teeth. A custom-made orthotic will then be made to stabilize the TMJ joints and realign the bite. As a result, muscle spasms and pain will be eliminated.

This whole process is completely pain-free and non-invasive so call (310)475-5598 today to schedule your personal TMJ consultation with Dr. Solomon! It’s time to start living life pain-free!
