Difficulty Chewing

Discover Expert TMJ Care for Difficulty Chewing

At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of New Hampshire, we understand the significant impact that difficulty chewing can have on your daily life. Difficulty chewing, often associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, refers to the discomfort, pain, or limitation experienced while chewing food. This condition can arise due to various factors such as misaligned jaw joints, muscle tension, or inflammation within the TMJ. It can manifest as pain or clicking sounds in the jaw, stiffness, and even difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully.

Symptoms of difficulty chewing extend beyond mere inconvenience; they can significantly disrupt one’s ability to enjoy meals, impact nutrition, and lead to an overall diminished quality of life. We specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders comprehensively. Our team of experienced professionals utilizes advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to address the root causes of difficulty chewing effectively. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, including orthodontics, oral appliances, and physical therapy, we aim to alleviate pain, restore proper jaw function, and enhance overall oral health.
