17 April, 2024 TMJ and Botox TMJ DentistAre you looking for a TMJ Specialist in Chicago? If so, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Margaret Mitchell by calling (312) 642-1014. It is critical that you see a dentist that appreciates the nature of TMJ and the need for caution during dental care. Otherwise, you could further irritate your jaw and muscles, leading to further discomfort.
If you wake up with discomfort in the jaw, temple, neck or shoulder muscles, Schedule an appointment with Dr. Mitchell. Tempomandibular Disease, or TMD tends to cluster in high stress professions (physicians, lawyers, consultants, traders, etc.) and is more likely to occur when the individual is experiencing a high level of stress. This stress leads to teeth grinding and clenching and the associated head, neck and shoulder pain.
Individuals experiencing symptoms of prolonged pain or sensitivity may require treatment for their TMJ problem. For many patients, TMD symptoms can be controlled with nightguard therapy. In some cases, Botox can also be used to better control TMD symptoms.
I have been seeing Dr. Margaret Mitchell, DDS for close to 20 years. She is SO wonderful. Even though I live in the suburbs and I have many other dentist options near where I live - seeing Dr. Mitchell for my dentistry care is one hundred percent the right call. I'd follow her if she moved her practice anywhere!

Mitchell Dental Spa is amazing! All staff members are extremely friendly, including Dr. Mitchell. The office is clean, modern, and has great views of the lake and downtown. They provide extra special touches like a blanket to throw on while you're cleaning, music overhead, a warm and scented towel at the end of the visit, and my favorite, a complimentary spa treatment when you are done!

Margaret Mitchell is a superlative dentist—the best I’ve ever had, and I have had many. Her dental work is of the most exquisite quality, and only rivaled by her sunny and humorous disposition. She is kind and gentle, but so strong and capable.
