When you're living with the daily discomfort of jaw pain, tension headaches, or that stubborn clicking every time you eat or speak, it's natural to wonder if relief is truly possible. TMJ disorder can feel like it takes over your life, turning simple moments into constant reminders of discomfort.
At Nicole Pagonis, DDS, in Los Gatos, we want you to know that healing is possible. While every journey is unique, many patients find lasting relief through the right combination of care, lifestyle changes, and support.
Does TMJ Disorder Ever Fully Heal?
The good news is that TMJ can disappear completely in some instances. Custom nightguards, exercises, or lifestyle changes can help if your problems are caused by any of the following:
- Stress
- Muscle tension
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
However, for more permanent issues, such as arthritis or joint damage, it’s best to focus on long-term management and living comfortably. Either way, our dental team will work with you to find the best treatment plan.
