Why Should I Get TMJ/TMD Treatment?
TMJ/TMD treatment is the best way to restore your oral range of motion, eliminate your pain, and get you back to your day-to-day routine. The pain and discomfort of TMJ/TMD can be extreme, and it can stop you from eating your favorite foods, chewing normally, or even speaking without pain and discomfort. Jaw issues like TMJ/TMD won’t get better on their own, and may even get worse over time. If you’re having jaw pain, that’s not normal. Contact us for a consultation right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem, give you a diagnosis, and provide the care you need for a healthy, functional, pain-free jaw.

The TMJ/TMD Treatment Process
What is Perio Protect?
Perio Protect is a non-invasive, at-home treatment that works alongside in-office periodontal care to help manage and prevent gum disease. This system uses custom-fitted trays—called Perio Trays®—designed to deliver a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel deep below the gumline. These trays allow medication to reach the bacteria responsible for periodontal disease in places brushing and flossing simply can’t.
Unlike traditional antibiotic treatments or more aggressive surgical options, Perio Protect is gentle, effective, and designed for long-term use as part of your daily routine. The trays are worn for just minutes a day and are FDA-cleared for use in managing periodontal disease.

- Enhances In-Office Results: When used as recommended, Perio Protect supports the results of your professional cleanings and periodontal therapy—helping maintain healthy gums between visits.
- Prevents Disease Progression: By reducing harmful bacteria on a daily basis, this system can help prevent the need for more invasive and costly treatments in the future.
- Convenient and Comfortable: The custom trays are soft, comfortable, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine—no injections, no surgery, and no downtime required.
- Freshens Breath and Gently Whitens Teeth: Many patients notice an improvement in breath odor and even mild teeth whitening as a bonus side effect from the hydrogen peroxide gel.
