Share this news:

Dienotfallzahnaerzte.ch (061-227-70-70), a dental clinic in central Basel, has announced new treatments for CMD and TMJ.

Dienotfallzahnärzte.ch now offers detailed diagnostic evaluation and personalized treatment plans for craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) — a group of conditions that affect the jaw joints, the muscles that control their movement, and the teeth.

As the clinic explains, CMD symptoms, including those specific to temporomandibular joint disorders, can range from mild to severe. They encompass jaw pain and tenderness, clicking or popping sounds, jaw mobility and chewing problems, teeth grinding (bruxism), and lockjaw episodes. There are a number of causes, ranging from an uneven bite to arthritis, trauma, stress, and anxiety contributing to muscle tension and jaw clenching, along with genetic factors.

Since CMD presents with diverse characteristics, the dentists at Dienotfallzahnärzte.ch utilize a multi-step process to ensure accurate diagnosis. This begins with assessing the patient’s medical history to identify any underlying conditions and recognize habits and stressors.

A clinical examination follows, typically including jaw movement observation, palpation of the masticatory muscles to detect areas of tension and trigger points, and analysis of bite and teeth position. For complex cases, the clinic is equipped with advanced technology — magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography — to visualize abnormalities in structures such as joint discs and the surrounding facial bones.

Based on the results, Dienotfallzahnärzte.ch will develop a tailored treatment plan. Patients may receive a custom-made occlusal splint or bite guard to improve their jaw alignment, prevent grinding, and protect the teeth, along with pain relievers, muscle relaxants, or anti-inflammatory medication. In addition, therapy often involves interdisciplinary collaboration with orthodontists, physiotherapists, and psychotherapists to ensure that all aspects of the condition are addressed.

For patients with severe issues opening and closing their mouths, the clinic provides emergency dental care. Same-day and after-hours appointments are available by phone, online, or on a walk-in basis, virtually 24/7, 365 days a year.

“Many people turn to painkillers for dental problems, but these medicines often only provide temporary relief. Untreated issues can cause recurring pain and negatively impact overall health,” said a spokesperson for Dienotfallzahnärzte.ch. “Our team in the SBB train station consists of experienced dentists and CMD specialists who can offer you immediate diagnosis and the most effective treatment.”
