Joint Surgery is The Last Resort
Before joint surgery, every other option should be considered.

• Has your bite been evaluated and treated?
• Have you allowed your joint to rest and heal itself?
• Have you tried a soft diet and anti-inflammatories?
• Have you tried a bite splint?
• Have you tried physical therapy?
• Are your jaws aligned properly?

There is a potential risk in TMJ surgery that the problem may be relieved for a period of time and then return.

Correcting the factors contributing to the problem may help to lessen the problem.
