Arthrocentesis
Fast facts
Have you tried mouth guards or exercises for jaw pain and popping? Is your jaw still causing you pain, and you're not sure what to do next?
TMJ arthrocentesis might be one of your dentist's suggestions to help you achieve a functional and pain-free mouth.
Arthrocentesis is done by injecting fluid into your joint.
The fluid washes out any chemical byproducts of inflammation and can help reduce pressure that causes the joint to be stiff or painful.
This can help you regain some of your jaw’s range of motion.
Arthrocentesis is usually a first-line treatment because it’s less invasive and has a high success rate when compared to some of the other, more complicated procedures.
