Jaw Ache in London

People suffer from jaw ache for a variety of reasons: joint stress, teeth (occlusal) imbalance and muscle tightness. The overall term for this pain is called tempero-mandibular pain dysfunction syndrome (TMJPDS).

The jaw muscles are the main muscles involved in eating and speaking, and problems around the jaw can lead to several problems in the mouth. The jaw is often overlooked when looking at problems in the teeth. Early diagnosis is important in preventing problems. From urgent problems, the use of a laser can warm the superficial and deep aspects of the jaw ligaments relieving pain. Advanced laser therapy is a relatively new treatment method for helping jaw ache and can be very effective when used in combination with other treatments. If you feel you can benefit from TMJ therapy, please contact one of our team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent.  I had braces throughout lockdown.  Best choice, best service, best decision.  However on two occasions I had a different orthodontists, I'd have liked the same person.  Nevertheless still excellent

REVIEW 5 YEARS LATER

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.  TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE.  I AM NOT SURE AS TO WHY THE STANDARD HAS DROPPED.

Both my adult children have invested a few thousand pounds and both have experienced ill fitting and broken braces and retainers.  Unanswered calls, appointments one month away and teeth moving back to the original positions.  Sarcasm from staff and people not taking responsibility and lies.  Every single conversation has been recorded and the matters will now become legal.  Do not invest your time or energy with these people.  I could go further but it is apparent they treat people ‘differently’ enough is enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After several years of treatment with Dr Shanka, I can confirm, you cannot fault their service. I used to be extremely anxious of the dentist, and I’ve always felt at ease and welcomed here. I am very happy with my results, and having chosen Waldron Dental for my new smile. Thank you Dr Shanka! You are an asset to the practice.

Jaw Ache Frequently asked questions

We know you may have questions about jaw ache and TMJ issues. Whether you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking, stiffness, or wondering about treatment options, we’re here to help. To help you feel confident and fully informed, we’ve answered some of the most common questions our patients ask about jaw ache at Waldron Dental.

How long does the treatment last?

Without treating the underlying cause, all treatments are temporary, and do require continual treatment depending on the underlying nature of the problem. It is normal to feel a warm sensation through the jaw during the treatment. This will help reduce soreness.

How much does the therapy cost?

After an assessment with the dentist. One session of laser therapy costs between £100 to £200 with our therapist team and involves a warming laser and micro vibrations to relax the muscles and relieve aches.

What other treatments may be needed?

The best results for chronic jaw ache require a combination of treatments. Laser therapy with jaw exercises alongside a warm compress, topical analgesics work best. In some cases, a hard acrylic splint tailoring to your dynamic jaw movements will be needed.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms are very broad ranging and can be clicking in your jaw joint, grinding, clenching, jaw lock, headache, neck and back strain, worn or even mobile teeth.
