Are You Suffering from Persistent Snoring?

TMJ-related snoring is a condition characterized by the dysfunction of the jaw joint, leading to disruptive snoring during sleep. The temporomandibular joint connects the jawbone to the skull, and when it malfunctions, it can cause various symptoms, including snoring. This condition can be caused by various factors, such as teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw misalignment, stress, or injury to the jaw joint.

The symptoms of TMJ-related snoring can be bothersome and can affect both the sufferer and their sleep partner. Snoring is the primary manifestation, often accompanied by loud, irregular noises during sleep, leading to sleep disturbances for the affected person and their partner. Additionally, individuals with TMJ issues may experience jaw pain or tenderness, difficulty opening or closing their mouth fully, clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw, and headaches upon waking. In severe cases, the jaw may even lock temporarily, causing further discomfort.

Furthermore, TMJ-related snoring can lead to daytime problems, such as chronic fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating due to disrupted sleep patterns. If left untreated, the condition can worsen and may lead to more serious complications, including chronic pain and dental issues.

  I have been seeing the specialists at La Mesa's TMJ Centre since the mid-1990s when my dentist referred me to Dr. Smith.  I am utterly please with the care.  My headaches, jaw pain have majorly improved.  I feel comfortable and  confident in  their care and am faithful wearing my appliances.  Dr. Smith has retired and the new doctor has the same caring attitude.

  Wonderful staff. Clean and stylish lobby with very knowledgeable team. Genuinely cares for their patients and anyone that is there to consult with a professional on their issues.

Victoria was exceptional and the doctor made me feel comfortable as I have high anxiety going to dentists/doctors.

  TMJ is always friendly and very helpful. They are more concerned about “YOU” as a patient and your health, than getting you in and out quickly!

  I recently went thru treatment for some jaw pain and popping, and had great results! I didn't have a referral at first but I was looking around online to see if I could find a professional to check out the problems I was having. You start off with a consultation and go thru several exams and testing which I felt were comprehensive and convinced me to pursue the 3 month treatment. The downside is that insurance may not cover the visits and treatment regiment, but it was definitely worth the money. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for TMJ treatment. The staff and doctor are also very friendly and knowledgeable

  Dr Sainsbury, Victoria, THANK YOU! As a fellow colleague who found herself in urgent need of help with her child, I cannot express enough gratitude or say enough about this office's mission and compassion! Although Dr Sainsbury doesn't usually see patients on Fridays, after Victoria relayed my story to him, he offered to come to the office to see my child and help in any way he could. And that he did! Dr Sainsbury was personable, clearly very knowledgeable and clear on his diagnosis and recommendations. He helped put my teen at ease immediately. Although in this case the diagnosis did not fall squarely into the TMJ realm, the attitude was not one of "sorry can't help you, bye" as is a little too often in healthcare. Dr Sainsbury clearly had a deep understanding of not only his field but the associated fields. He was sympathetic and offered pain relief services as well as take home products, self care advice and suggestions as to next steps. Everything a patient in pain (or parent of one!)  would hope to find in their treating clinician! Willing and able to help! Thank you!
