He\u2019s participated in a substantial amount of continuing education courses focused on the TMJ with the Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Studies. Patients who seek treatment for their jaw pain through our Ridgefield office benefit from Dr. Jones\u2019s knowledge and experience in the field.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment Options for TMJ in Ridgefield<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some self-care practices can help ease the symptoms of TMJ. Stress-reducing tactics, like meditation, yoga and therapy can help to reduce the tension that causes jaw clenching. But if you\u2019ve tried these practices and they haven\u2019t helped you find relief from your TMJ pain, Dr. Jones may recommend a removable oral appliance that you wear while you sleep. These removable devices fit right over your top and bottom teeth and help to stabilize your jaw &#8212; and many Ridgefield patients have found relief with this option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, your TMJ treatment will depend on your unique situation. No matter your needs, you can trust that Dr. Jones will recommend a solution that\u2019s just right for you and your jaw. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danajonesdds.com\/contact-us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ridgefield Perfect Smile Center to get help for your TMJ discomfort.
