Proper diagnosis is critical to make sure you receive treatment for your particular condition. At Carmella M Knoernschild DDS we will only recommend treatment after conducting a thorough health history, clinical exam, taking appropriate X-rays, and perhaps confirming the condition through other diagnostic tests.

At Carmella M Knoernschild DDS we may prescribe a multiple-phase treatment plan. Only minor corrective treatment may be needed. Treatment may be simple or require more steps for alleviating the condition, depending on the degree of severity. Some of these treatments include:

=	Skin contact infrared therapy: Pads are placed directly on your skin and contain superluminous diodes which emit infrared photoenergy. This treatment is FDA approved and is state of the art technology.
=	Taking a non-aspirin pain reliever or prescription medications such as muscle relaxants, analgesics, or anti-inflammatory drugs
=	Eating soft foods
=	Avoiding chewing gum
=	Applying moist heat or ice
=	Physical therapy
=	Teaching relaxation techniques to control muscle tension
=	Stress management training techniques
=	Nutritional management with glyconutrients and other vital nutrients
=	Posture training
=	Wearing bite plates to eliminate the harmful effects of clenching or grinding the teeth, and a better positioning of the jaws
=	Adjusting the bite, known as "occlusal equilibration" involving removing interferences when the teeth touch
=	Replacement of defective restorations that prevent the jaws from meeting properly
=	Orthodontics, to put the teeth in proper position
=	Surgery

In most cases we treat at Carmella M Knoernschild DDS, the symptoms related to TMJ disorders can be successfully treated to reduce or eliminate your discomfort. Postponement of treatment usually results in more damage to the joint, muscles, or teeth.
