Do you suffer from chronic headaches or migraines? Do you take anti-anxiety medication or have
high blood pressure as a result of constant pain in your jaws, face, neck, shoulders,
or low back? Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, called
TMJ or TMD, can even contribute to carpel tunnel syndrome.
Anyone who suffers with chronic pain loses quality of life and the ability to feel healthy,
happy, and normal. TMD is caused when the temporomandibular joints
– the jaw joints – don’t align properly. Misalignment of these joints contributes to
muscle and nerve problems in the face. This can lead to symptoms exhibited throughout
the body. Clicking or popping jaw joints

You can reclaim your health, comfort, and quality of life.
At Comfort Dental Spa in Farmington Hills, Dr. Aziza Askari offers conservative, non-surgical
treatment for TMD. To find the proper jaw position, a TENS unit stimulates muscles with
electricity so that they relax and return to their natural, proper state. Dr. Askari
uses Tech Scan computerized analysis to determine a precise reading of the jaw’s ideal placement.
She will then work with you to find the right therapy to address your TMD and relieve painful
symptoms. Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Askari
may use low-level laser therapy. LLLT heals muscle tissue by increasing bloodflow to the
affected area. Oral splint therapy is another effective treatment option. Massage, microcurrent
therpy, and adjusting your bite with dental restorations may also prove effective.
Successful, conservative TMD treatment can restore your quality of life, relieve chronic
pain, make you more productive, and it could eliminate your need for some pharmaceuticals.
