Do you have headaches? Neck pain? Frequent tenderness in your jaw or popping and click when you open or close your mouth? If those symptoms sound familiar, you should consult with Gresham TMJ dentist Dr. Gary Cooke.
"TMJ" describes a variety of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (the point where the jaw opens and closes) and nerves, which can result in chronic facial pain.
Dr. Cooke will develop a treatment plan that's right for you. It may include restoration of certain teeth that may be contributing to the problem, attention to proper gum maintenance, pain relief, and a concerted effort to identify the underlying causes of your TMJ symptoms.
Many of our Gresham patients have discovered that relief can sometimes be obtained from simple changes in their eating and sleeping habits. Left untreated, TMJ symptoms can lead to debilitating pain and discomfort.
Why wait another moment to meet a trusted Gresham TMJ dentist? Call Gresham Dental Excellence at (503) 665-6166 or complete our simple online form to schedule a consultation with Dr. Gary Cooke. We're dedicated to providing you with affordable, top-quality dental care.
Brush Your Teeth Daily!

How Old Is Your Toothbrush?
Replace your toothbrush every 3 or 4 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
