Experience The Future of TMJ Treatment
Accurate detection of symptoms relating to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is notoriously difficult. Furthermore, even when diagnosed correctly, traditional TMJ treatments are often lengthy, painful, and involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs – many of which produce harmful side-effects. Ar Aarohi Dental, our team of acclaimed experts represent the best option possible for TMJ treatment in New Bedford, MA.
Led by renowned oral surgeon Dr. Sathish Palayam, we offer a fully custom TMJ treatment protocol that is designed and engineered using 100% non-invasive, non-contact, and non-pharmaceutical methods. We use an advanced PerioLase laser treatment, which helps to eliminate damaged tissue and correct misalignments while preserving the health and integrity of each patient’s oral architecture. The result is fast, efficient, virtually pain-free TMJ treatments that offer life long corrective solutions.

- Chronic and debilitating jaw pain
- Popping, clicking, or locked jaw
- Frequent headaches, migraines, and/or earaches
- Visibly worn-down teeth and gums

Non-Invasive/Non-Surgical
Non-invasive PerioLase laser treatments are proving incredibly effective at repairing damaged soft-tissue while maintaining the integrity of healthy soft tissue in the oral landscape. Furthermore, non-surgical laser treatments for TMJ are offering a virtually painless option for helping patients deal with jaw discomfort, misalignment, difficulty chewing, and other TMJ-associated symptoms.
Non-Contact
In addition to laser based non-surgical therapies, Aarohi Dental also utilizes a number of safe, non-contact protocols for the effective treatment of TMJ-related facial pain, swelling, and discomfort. Non-contact therapies include posture improvement, stress reduction and relaxation techniques, orthodontics, and exercises that function to strengthen and realign the jaw. The benfits of non-invasive, non-contact TMJ treatment include low pain, low risk of side effects, and little to no recovery time.
No Pharmaceutical Treatments
Malocclusion (aka misaligned bite) as a result of TMJ dysfunction often results in a patient grinding his or her teeth during the night. Incessant grinding can result in a variety of painful symptoms, most of which stem from chronic pressure on the temporomandibular joint. Many dental clinics choose to treat TMJ pain with pharmaceutical medication. While effective, many prescription drugs for TMJ produce harmful side effects, which can potentially negate the benefits of the treatment altogether. At Aarohi Dental, our team of specialists prioritizes non-pharmaceutical treatments that help patients heal faster, expereince less pain, and ultimately avoid the risk of adverse side effects.
