November is also TMJ Awareness Month. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a common group of related pain conditions involving the TMJ, jaw muscles and associated structures. Possible causes may include arthritis, dislocation, injury, tooth or jaw alignment, stress, and tooth grinding.

October is one of our favorite months of the year! The leaves are changing colors, nights are cool, and pumpkin spice is in the air! We also celebrate National Dental Hygiene Month, release our much anticipated End of the Year Special, and start our holiday charity drives for those less fortunate in our community.
