About one-fifth of Americans has trouble with their temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is the joint that attaches your lower jaw to the rest of your skull. Because the TMJ is such a complex joint, it can be prone to becoming strained, inflamed, or injured, which in turn, can lead to TMJ disorder (TMD). Instead of forcing yourself to live with painful TMD, you can schedule an appointment at Southwest Dental to see what kind of solutions Dr. Ranjbaran can provide for lasting relief through TMJ treatment in Rio Rancho, NM.
