Jaw pain, headaches, or clicking when you chew may be signs of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). At Cheek Dental, Dr. Kristina Chandler and Dr. Cristi Cheek provide comprehensive care for TMD, helping patients find lasting relief.
TMD refers to dysfunction in the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), which connect your jaw to your skull. These small but complex joints can cause big problems when they’re not functioning properly.
Common symptoms include:
Jaw pain or tenderness
Popping, clicking, or locking of the jaw
Headaches or earaches
Facial soreness or tension
Difficulty chewing
Our dentists carefully evaluate your bite, jaw movement, and overall oral health. Treatment may include bite splints, Botox/Xeomin therapy, or other conservative measures. Our goal is always to reduce pain, protect your teeth, and restore healthy function.

Dr. Kristina Chandler and Dr. Cristi Cheek blend advanced technology with a warm, relationship-based approach to care.
