SONRIA DENTISTA · PARIS, TEXAS
An evaluation for jaw discomfort, facial pain, and concerns about jaw function.
TMJ refers to the jaw joint. TMD refers to disorders involving the joint or chewing muscles. Symptoms can include jaw pain, stiffness, painful clicking, or difficulty opening. Painless clicking alone commonly does not require treatment.
Jaw and facial pain can have different causes. A detailed history and examination help determine whether further records, imaging, or referral are appropriate.
Dr. Mundluru is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain. His training includes residency at USC and an MSc in Oral Surgery from the University of Glasgow.
He evaluates TMJ disorders and persistent facial pain at Sonria Dentista. At your Paris consultation, bring a medication list, relevant records, and notes about when symptoms occur and what makes them better or worse.
