TMJ care after an accident or injury

Patients may experience new or worsening jaw symptoms following an accident or injury. Dr. Leon evaluates each patient's history, symptoms, clinical findings, and possible contributing factors to determine appropriate care.

Understanding what has changed

Dr. Leon sees patients after car, motorcycle, scooter, e-bike and other accidents, falls, sports injuries and martial arts injuries. Some come with symptoms they never experienced before, trying to understand what has changed. The evaluation looks at the whole picture: your health history, symptoms, jaw joints and muscles, teeth and bite, jaw movement, and posture.
