Do you find that you're unable to open your mouth without painful clicking and popping sounds? If so, you may be affected by temporomandibular joint disease or TMJ. Barrington area TMJ dentist Michael Unti, D.D.S., is highly trained in diagnosing and treating TMJ and would love to discuss your symptoms with you. We also provide cosmetic dentistry, dental implants and braces.
If you're experiencing uncomfortable swelling around your jaw joint or have constant headaches, or feel that your jaw is locking up, please contact Palatine Complete Dental today. In most cases, TMP symptoms can be easily treated.
Dr. Unti is often asked about the causes of TMJ disorder? Some contributing factors may include injuries to the jaw area, certain forms of arthritis, low-level infections and certain dental procedures. Untreated dental problems (crooked teeth, gum disease) can also lead to TMJ symptoms.
The treatment plan that's right for you may include attention to proper gum maintenance, pain relief, restoration of certain teeth that may be contributing to the problem, and investigation of the underlying causes of your TMJ symptoms.
Many of our Barrington area patients have discovered that relief can be obtained from simple changes in their sleeping and eating habits, although more advanced cases may require surgery. Talk to Dr. Michael Unti now to learn what's right for you.

Gum disease is caused by an infection in the gum tissues and bone that keep your teeth in place and it is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. Early gum disease, or gingivitis, can be treated and reversed if diagnosed early. Unfortunately, not receiving treatment will lead to a more serious and advanced state of gum disease.
Regular cleanings and check-ups and daily brushing and flossing are key weapons in the fight against these conditions so call Palatine Complete Dental today at (847) 359-7520 to schedule a checkup soon.
Dr. Unti will tell you that regular brushing and flossing lowers the chance of your children developing cavities. However, sometimes good habits alone aren't enough. The most decay-prone areas of teeth are the grooves and depressions on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. These vulnerable areas require further preventive care. To protect kids' teeth from decay, a plastic-like coating called a sealant should be painted on the chewing surfaces of all the back teeth.
It's a simple process that's extremely effective: studies have shown that sealants can reduce tooth decay by as much as 90% to 100%. Please call Palatine Complete Dental at (847) 359-7520 with any questions you may have about the benefits of using a sealant in preventing dental decay.
Millions of adults struggle with hypersensitive teeth, meaning they are sensitive to hot and cold temperatures, very sugary or acidic foods and drinks and vigorous tooth brushing. Above the gum line, dentin is protected with a coating of enamel. Unfortunately, as enamel is worn away or decayed, dentin becomes exposed and receptive to sensations that cause painful nerve responses.
This can also occur as the result of receding gums, a common symptom of gum disease. If your teeth are sensitive, please call Palatine Complete Dental today at (847) 359-7520 to schedule a consultation.
