November marks TMJ Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on the millions of people silently struggling with jaw pain, chronic headaches, clicking or locking jaws, and facial tension.

For many, these symptoms go unaddressed for years, dismissed as "just stress" or something to "deal with." But TMJ disorders (temporomandibular joint disorders) are real medical conditions, and they’re treatable.

At Stanley Dentistry, Dr. Bobbi Stanley has been helping patients find lasting relief from TMJ-related discomfort for decades. With advanced diagnostic tools, customized treatment plans, and a whole-health approach, she gets to the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.

Do You Have TMJ Disorder?

You might if you’re experiencing:

  • Jaw pain or stiffness, especially in the morning or after chewing
  • Frequent headaches or migraines
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding noises in the jaw
  • Locking jaw or limited movement
  • Ear pain or pressure
  • Neck and shoulder tension

These signs can point to problems with the alignment or function of the jaw joint. The good news? You don’t have to live with the discomfort.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Get Help

TMJ Awareness Month is the perfect reminder to take care of yourself. If your jaw pain is impacting your sleep, your eating habits, your focus -or your life in general- it’s time to talk to someone who truly understands.

Dr. Bobbi Stanley offers:

  • Thorough consultations to evaluate your jaw health
  • Advanced treatments, including bite adjustments, night guards, and more
  • Personalized care to match your lifestyle and needs
