“TMJ” is an acronym for temporomandibular joint, that is to say, the jaw joint. The temporomandibular joints are the joints in front of the ears attaching the lower jaw to the skull. They are essential to daily jaw functions such as opening and closing your mouth, chewing and speaking.
TMJ disorders refer to conditions, manifested by pain in the area of the jaw and jaw muscles and limitations in the ability of the jaw to operate normally while speaking, eating, and swallowing.
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research of the National Institutes of Health states that 10.8 million people in the USA suffer from TMJ problems. 90% of those seeking treatment for TMJ are women during their childbearing years.
Medical research has not yet defined all the causes of the various TMJ disorders. Some patients report having TMJ symptoms following trauma, dental treatment, traffic accidents, or following the adoption of habits such as clenching or grinding the teeth. Arthritis in other parts of the body is sometimes linked to TMJ pain.
At present, there are more than 50 treatments in use ranging from very conservative, reversible therapies to more aggressive, invasive approaches.

Highly recommended !! Thank you Adrianna and Gena for everything �
I came in at 10:21 with a broken tooth and an infection. The front desk staff was quick and sympathetic to my pain and got me back fast. The assistant I guess you would call her, went above and beyond to be me Into a surgery place to have a root canal done. Super impressed with the staff for sure. Will be back for my cap
Great dentist. My wife referred me a few years back and we both love it.
Dr. Tepedino is a fantastic dentist!
I don't think there are enough positive things I could say about this dental office. From the sweet young lady at the front desk when you walk in to the hygienists and staff behind the scenes, they were all so wonderful. One of my boys saw Jessica (Assistant) and Vinny (the Hygienist) both were so nice and fun. They made my son feel comfortable and engaged him which is great. My other son saw Sabrina (hygienist) who was wonderful! It says a lot for an office and its staff when your 10 year old boys said I can't wait to go back to the dentist. One will be going back soon because he has some cavities that need to be filled and Leah was very nice and gave us all the information we needed for the next visit. Dr. Tepedino was very kind and informative about telling the boys they need to make sure they are keeping their teeth clean and explaining the importance of healthy teeth. They have been working really hard at cleaning their teeth since our visit on Saturday, I hope they keep it up!! I'm very happy knowing that everyone my boys engaged at this office, each person was kind and willing to talk to them. Any dental office (medical office) that can give my kids a feeling of comfort and relaxation is an office worth us sticking with. Thank you all so much for making it a great experience for my boys!!
Doctor Tepedino, is currently working on my dental implant and with all honesty and because I am coming from a medical background family I can easily tell when I am in good hands this doctor is "AMAZING" very professional, extremely knowledgeable, & has a lot of integrity which is difficult to find in these days, I personally shopped around went to several dental practices here in JACKSONVILLE and Doctor Tepedino was the only doctor so far that took the time to study my case real good and proposed the best dental treatment for my case and circumstances, with all integrity. I trully feel that Doctor Tepedino, will never propose a treatment that a patient doesnt require, and that was the reason for me choosing this practice , the way they treated me and the time they took to analyse my dental profile and needs plus after visiting so many dental practices in town that was just about choosing the fast treatment that would make them the most money without reviewing the best medical alternatives. For example In one instance one of those places offered me to extract all my good teeths to perform a G4. knowing that I was not really an extreme CANDIDATE. for a G4 ? that is how greedy and unprofessional many dental practices are. But thank goodness I found Doctor Tepedino at DENTAL ARTS OF FLORIDA here in JACKSONVILLE. trust me He is trully all about his patients.He is Highly professional and so is everyone in his office I trully Waiting forward to continue all my dental works at DENTAL ARTS. PLUS I recommend this place not with a 5 stars I trully will rate it as a perfect 10 stars. and they open 7 days a week.
I have been going to Dental Arts of Florida for a while now and I have nothing but nice things to say! From the moment you walk through the door you're instantly welcomed by the friendly faces at the front desk one of which is Adrianna! Today I had a cleaning by the hygienist named Michelle, who did such a wonderful thorough job! I admired the fact that she did not rush and really educated me on all the questions that I had. It was nice to know that I mattered. After my cleaning the assistant Sabrina then took some moldings of my mouth for trays to do the at home bleach kit. Her funny spirt kept me calm and still and the time flew by. Everyone was extremely professional, friendly and did an outstanding job. I could not be happier with my experience. I highly recommend Dental Arts Of Florida!
I have always hated the dentist and that all changed when I started going here. I have been a patient for a few years now. The staff is great, always friendly. Since they are open 7 days a week it fits my schedule.
I had a great cleaning and x-rays. The appointment was on time, the staff are always friendly. I felt very relaxed, which you would think is unusual for a dental appointment.
Very flexible and convenient hours with Saturday and Sunday appointments a knowledgeable and friendly staff! ?
