Dental Concepts Clinic

TMJ Disorders

I was suffering from this jaw pain for a long time I had shown to Dentist in Roorkee, who advised me for Physiotherapy and some medication, after some sessions issue settled down. I think it was then the starting of the TMJ issue, had my dentist diagnosed properly then I would not have reached this stage when suddenly one day in September 2022, I was unable to open my mouth and it was so much painful, I approached my regular dentist who said it was a muscular problem and gave muscle relaxant which did help me as I could eat now. The spasms still continued especially at the right side and my mouth could not open freely as the jaws would pain. I was getting constant jaw locking issue and pain. Whenever I used to open my mouth wide (for eating or yawning) there was unbearable pain. I had no idea what was the trouble, sometimes in the middle of the night the spasmodic pain would start and I could not sleep. My regular dentist would tell that its muscular and will sort itself This continued for some time and I consulted few more Dentists in Roorkee but to no avail. On recommendation of one of the Dentist I got an OPG done but that could not help diagnose, I even visited ENT specialist as the pain was continuous and would radiate from my right ear and downwards, he too could not provide me any permanent relief.

In November 2022, I visited my Dentist friends Dr. Puneet Kalra & his wife Dr. Shivani Kalra at Bikaner and he advised to carry out CBCT of TMJ, It was then the actual problem was diagnosed. Since I could not stay long and it required repeated visits, so they recommended me to visit Dr. Richa at Gurugram.

I spoke with her on 6.12.2022 and shared the CBCT reports, after thoroughly studying the same she called back and gave an appointment and advised to carry out some tests and MRI of the TMJ for thorough understanding and root cause analysis. She had understood the underlying problem.

So on 13.12.2022 was my first appointment. She thoroughly examined me and explained the whole issue. Dr. Richa briefed me the treatment procedure stepwise and assured that though its a lengthy treatment involving several visits but will provide relief in due course of treatment and time. She also assured that the quality of life would be better surely. but gradually. Not to expect results overnight as the joint deterioration has happened gradually.

It is now 2 months of treatment at Dental Concept, and there is improvement in my condition after regularly using the splints/night guard and timely and regular visits. After each visit Dr. Richa and her staff would ensure to call for feedback and updates and would explain the importance of wearing the splint/night guard regularly. My overall condition is now better than what it was 2 months ago. Its still a long way to go and I am committed for it.

I would recommend to consult Dr. Richa for treatment If you're suffering from TMJ/locked jaw issue, clicking sound of the jaw or restricted opening of the mouth, all these could be associated with disorder of the TM Joint - and she has the knowledge and expertise. She will surely help set the expectations right and ensure the treatment moves forward in the right direction and help improve the quality of life.

I went for severe tooth ache and I was properly explained the issue and was recommended I go for 1 RCT and 1 filling. The procedure was absolutely painless and performed with utmost professionalism. This is my 2nd RCT. The first was in my hometown Alwar and was not good which instilled fear of dentists in me. But this time was different. Proper local anaesthesia was administered which made the complicated deep rooted RTC really comfortable for me. After care was also properly explained. Thanks a lot Dr. Rishi Dhanda, Dr. Richa Dhanda, and team.

Dr. Rishi was recommended to me by a family friend around 5 years ago and now he is one of my favourite doctors. Like everyone I was scared to show to a dentist but I had to get one root canal done 5 years ago and the entire procedure was so smooth and painless, thanks to Dr. Rishi that I understood that its not necessary to be scared of dentists :).

Recently I had to get my wisdom tooth extracted, I met Dr. Rishi, the whole process was done within 15 mins without any pain.

I have been shifted to Bangalore and had come to Delhi over Diwali wherein the tooth extraction became necessary. Not only did the doctor arranged to open clinic for me but also messaged me to check about my recovery few days later.

Highly recommed Dr. Rishi and thankful to him for giving me painless smile again.

He is a very good communicator, very patient and proficient in the diversity of dental processes and techniques He has remained ahead of the curve with latest emerging dental technologies.
