You shouldn’t wake up with headaches every morning. You should be able to eat a meal without feeling pain in your jaw or your face. And you should not feel painful clicking or popping when you open or close your mouth.
\nYet, all of these problems can be the result of an untreated TMJ disorder<\/a>. Our own George A. Hoop, DDS, has treated hundreds of patients with TMJ troubles. You too can be free from the painful consequences of this condition.
\nCall (239) 594-8817 to make an appointment at one of our offices in Fort Myers or North Naples, FL.<\/p>\n

Understand Your Situation<\/h3>\n

TMJ disorders affect millions of people across the United States, although many people are unaware that they have an issue. In a vast majority of cases, the treatment is pretty simple, thankfully.
\nDr. Hoop sees many patients who report frequent headaches, and often they wake up with headaches each morning. If this is happening often, clenching or grinding your teeth in your sleep may be the cause of your pain. Those actions put added pressure on the muscles of your face. They put extra stress on your jaw joints, and this can wear down the enamel of your teeth as well.
\nWhen you visit us, we let us know if you are having one or more of these symptoms:<\/p>\n
