Relieve Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Fairfield, CT

Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your jaw to your skull, so you use them for chewing, yawning, and similar movements. If they become inflamed, they can cause a painful condition called a TMJ disorder. Fortunately, we can relieve your jaw pain and other unpleasant symptoms with TMJ treatment in Fairfield.

Our treatment will:

  • Ease tension on your jaw to give your joints a chance to heal
  • Protect your teeth from damage caused by teeth grinding, a destructive habit often linked to TMJ disorders
  • Prevent pain from spreading from your jaw to other areas of your body
  • Enable you to sleep comfortably through the night
  • Eliminate associated symptoms like earaches and muscle pain

To relieve your TMJ pain, call 203-349-3537.

A Custom Mouthguard Can Ease Your TMJ Pain

During your dental exams, Dr. Pablo Cuevas will look for signs of teeth grinding (bruxism). He can also use high-tech instruments like our digital X-rays to identify TMJ trouble. He’ll treat it with a custom-made mouthguard that will stop clenching and grinding behaviors. Since we use digital impressions of your teeth to make your mouthguard, it will fit you perfectly. Putting a stop to grinding will not only make your jaw feel better, it will also prevent you from damaging your tooth enamel.

Seek Help for Your TMJ Symptoms

Jaw pain is the most obvious symptom of a TMJ disorder, but there are others too. Make an appointment with Dr. Cuevas if you’re experiencing:

  • Recurring headaches
  • Muscle pain in your neck, shoulders, or upper back
  • Frequent earaches
  • Difficulty opening and/or closing your mouth
  • Popping or grating noise in your jaw

Don’t Worry About Scheduling or Paying for Your TMJ Care

We don’t want a lack of finances to prevent you from seeking TMJ care. We offer a variety of payment options, including third-party financing from CareCredit and LendingClub. We also want to make it as easy as possible to schedule your appointments, so we offer Saturday hours by request.

For TMJ treatment in Fairfield, call 203-349-3537.

You will tell I was really impressed today when I went to Dr Cuevas’s office for a “regular” teeth cleaning. Things were going exceedingly well ( as Erin complimented me on my improved daily cleaning results ), when her mood changed suddenly. She had discovered and measured a pocket void on two sides of a molar which decades ago had had a root canal. She immediately worried it could be indicating a cracked tooth, but only Dr Cuevas’s expertise and maybe an X-ray would tell us more. I had no pain or irritation of any kind and I had a similar cracked tooth many years earlier which was not discovered until I had experienced much discomfort due to infection. So I was completely surprised. Erin’s preliminary diagnosis proved to be right on the button, proving what I had sensed over a few years of her cleanings...that she is really well schooled and trained in what she does so well ( a true studied and academic scientist), with the experience to readily identify a problem which very well could turn into a painful emergency down the road. By the way, the X-ray machine was brand new and state of the art not requiring me to jam into my small mouth an number of small X-ray plates. It just revolved around my head as I stood in place. I made my appointment for the extraction with Dr Cuevas but was told, if I would like to wait an hour it could be accomplished this afternoon, so I did not have to trek back, and it was. Once again, no pain no matter how hard this 60 year old tooth was to get out. What a pleasure to eliminate the problem before it was a painful emergency in a state of the art dental operation with really well trained professional staff. David C. Wilton CT

(Translated by Google) Meeting Dr. Cuevas is the best thing that could happen to me. After many years looking for a good dentist without success, the fear of so many visits full of bad times and a lot of pain, made me avoid them completely; Until a good day by recommendation of acquaintances I went to his office ... what a nice difference! He is a professional who gives a warm and respectful treatment to his patients. Your office is equipped with the latest technologies, is well located and with enough parking, its employees are efficient and friendly, always trying to make me feel good. I recommend Dr. Pablo Cuevas without reservation and with great pleasure. Oh, I forgot an important detail, Dr. Cuevas speaks Spanish and is always in a good mood. (Original) Conocer al Dr. Cuevas es lo mejor que me pudo pasar. Despúes de muchos años buscando un buen dentista sin exito, el miedo a tantas visitas llenas de malos ratos y mucho dolor, me hizo evitarlos por completo; Hasta que un buen dia por recomendacion de conocidos fui a su consultorio... que agradable diferencia! Él es todo un profesional que le da un trato calido y respetuoso a sus pacientes. Su oficina esta equipada con las últimas tecnologías, esta bien situada y con suficiente estacionamiento, sus empleadas son eficientes y amigables, siempre tratando de hacerme sentir bien. Recomiendo al Dr. Pablo Cuevas sin reservación y con muchisimo gusto. Ah, se me olvidaba un detalle importante, El Dr. Cuevas habla español y siempre esta de buen humor.

An excellent experience all-around. Dr.Cuevas, Erin and the rest of the staff are extremely knowledgeable, patient, helpful and awesome at what they do. They were able to fix a few minor issues I was dealing with, and I already felt significantly better the day following my appointment. They will help you with your immediate issues as well as developing a long-term plan of care for your dental health. Highly recommend if you're looking for top-notch service in our area (bonus, they accept most major insurances!) Looking forward to working with them on an ongoing basis!
