TMJ treatment focuses on identifying and addressing jaw-related issues that can contribute to chronic headaches, migraines, facial pain, and jaw discomfort. By evaluating how the jaw functions and how it interacts with surrounding muscles and joints, TMJ care can help relieve pain that may not respond to traditional treatments.
At Candlewood Dental Care, TMJ treatment is guided by the experience of Lorraine Burio, DMD, who has completed advanced training and holds active memberships in professional organizations focused on sleep medicine and oral-systemic health. With decades of experience serving the New Fairfield community, Dr. Burio provides thoughtful, non-invasive solutions aimed at restoring comfort and improving quality of life.

What Is TMJ / TMD?
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect the jaw to the skull and play a key role in chewing, speaking, and facial movement. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) occurs when these joints or the surrounding muscles are not functioning properly. TMJ/TMD issues can create tension, inflammation, and imbalance that may lead to pain in the jaw, head, face, and neck, often contributing to chronic headaches or migraines.
