About TMD

You may have heard of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) before, but are you aware of the symptoms and treatment involved with it? TMD refers to symptoms that begin in the upper and lower jaw, often involving pain and discomfort in the head, neck and/or shoulders. It is a major oral concern that can cause extreme discomfort, but with proper treatment, the pain can be relieved and the issue resolved.

Dr. Zusko, a General Dentist who focuses primarily on TMJ & Ortho, has dedicated his career to helping those who suffer from chronic pain caused by Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. Information is power and we make it our goal to help inform our patients about what TMD is and how this could be the cause of your chronic pain. As a fully licensed and certified general dentist servicing Walkerville, Windsor, Tecumseh and surrounding areas, we also offer information and solutions for braces and jaw orthopedics and sleep apnea.

Dr. Zusko and our team are here to help.  We look forward to meeting with you to discuss your concerns.

    Have Some Questions?

    Treatment varies from patient to patient, depending on the severity of the TMD diagnosis; however, generally treatment can take approximately six months to complete. Once you meet with Dr. Zusko to discuss treatment options, he can give you a better idea of how long your treatment will take.

    Most treatment requires a combination of different appliances including an easy to wear splint, teeth reshaping, crowns or orthodontics, as well as supportive care from chiropractors, massage therapists and physiotherapists. Only 10 per cent of temporomandibular disorders will require surgery and are considered a last resort approach.
