Have you been experiencing persistent pain and discomfort in your jaw or face? You could be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, also known as TMD. This condition affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull and can cause a variety of discomforting symptoms.

Dr. Khan offers innovative treatment methods such as trigger point therapy, Photobiomodulation (PBM), and facial injections, each designed to target the source of the discomfort and provide lasting relief.
Do I Need TMJ Treatment?
Living with TMJ disorder can be debilitating, causing frequent headaches, jaw pain, and even difficulty in eating or talking. Getting TMJ treatment from our Florham Park providers can help target the painful symptoms of TMJ disorder directly, to promote your physical comfort and mental wellbeing.
Left untreated, TMJ can lead to further discomfort and additional health complications. At Florham Park Smile Lounge, we believe in proactive care, and our TMJ treatment is designed to help you target your unique symptoms and return to smiling with ease.
Top TMJ treatments at Florham Park Smile Lounge include:
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy focuses on relieving TMJ pain by applying pressure to specific tight spots in your jaw muscles. This straightforward and non-invasive method helps ease pain, relax your muscles, and improve jaw movement. TMJ treatment with trigger point therapy is a fast way to find relief and make your jaw feel more flexible and less tight.
Photobiomodulation (PBM)
Photobiomodulation, or low-level laser therapy, uses light to heal and reduce inflammation in your jaw. It’s a painless approach that encourages your cells to repair themselves, easing TMJ symptoms like pain and swelling. This therapy is easy, safe, and can speed up your recovery without any medications or surgery.
Facial Injections for Head and Neck Pain
Facial injections with BOTOX® are not just for cosmetic purposes. Injected into just the right place, they are an effective treatment for TMJ disorders, including head and neck pain. By relaxing the muscles around your jaw, facial injections can lessen pain, headaches, and the discomfort of teeth grinding.
BOTOX® injections from Dr. Khan offer a quick, minimally invasive way to relieve painful TMD- related symptoms and achieve results that can last for months. Injection therapy is ideal for reducing jaw tension and improving your daily comfort.
The TMJ Treatment Process at Florham Park Smile Lounge
If you suspect you have TMJ disorder, our team will take the following steps to help alleviate your symptoms:
Diagnosis
The first step in the treatment of TMJ is a thorough diagnosis, with detailed examination of your jaw, teeth, and facial muscles, as well as an assessment of your symptoms and medical history. Dr. Imran Uddin may also use imaging tests like x-rays to get a clearer view of the temporomandibular joints and to rule out other conditions. Understanding the cause and severity of your TMJ disorder is crucial for creating an effective treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Personalized Treatment Plan
If Dr. Khan determines you are a candidate for TMJ treatment, we'll create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs. Your treatment plan could include one or more of our specialized therapies, such as trigger point therapy, Photobiomodulation, or treatment with facial injections.
Dr. Khan will administer the therapies as planned, ensuring you're comfortable throughout the process. We'll also provide you with guidance on how to manage your symptoms at home, so you can maintain your results for the long term.
