TMJ Treatment in South Fayette

Do you hear clicking sounds in your jaw whenever you chew? If so, you may be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder - TMJ for short. Not only is it annoying, left untreated, it can be very painful. In simplest terms, TMJ symptoms can be described as chronic inflammation of the Temporomandibular joint. This joint connects the lower jaw to the skull. Dr. Wayne DiBartola in South Fayette has diagnosed and treated many such cases. If you suffer from any pain or discomfort in your jaw, your next call should be to Wayne J DiBartola Jr DMD.

But what causes TMJ disorder? Some contributing factors may include injuries to the jaw area, certain forms of arthritis, low-level infections and certain dental procedures.

At Wayne J DiBartola Jr DMD we're committed to listening to you and working with you to develop a plan to treat your jaw discomfort.

Many of our South Fayette patients have discovered that relief can be obtained from simple changes in their eating and sleeping habits, although more advanced cases may require surgery.
