Grove Dental Can Help

If you're experiencing headaches, swelling and pain near the jaw joint or locking of the jaw, you may be suffering from temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), a condition that occurs when the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull is not aligned properly. People with TMD often experience a lot of discomfort and pain, as there is a constant pressure on the jawbones, nerves and muscles.

Or maybe it is not jaw pain that is afflicting you, but it’s your snoring, rather.  You or a loved one may snore loudly through each night, leaving you restless and groggy the next day.  Snoring isn’t just a nuisance. It can also be a sign of a serious condition called sleep apnea.  Sleep apnea is caused by blockage in the airway that disrupts the natural breathing pattern. Untreated and undiagnosed, sleep apnea can lead to serious conditions such as stroke or heart disease.

Whether you’re a chronic snorer or suffering from jaw pain, let Dr. Lipskis help you.  Dr. Lynn Lipskis is a former TMD sufferer and now concentrates exclusively on treating patients with jaw pain and sleep disorders. She brings years of experience in diagnosing and treating both of these conditions and would love to talk to you about your symptoms.

"If you’re suffering from chronic pain, I invite you to visit for a consultation. Let’s discuss the many options available to eliminate TMD and sleep disorders from your life.” – Dr. Lipskis
