TMJ disorder

TMJ disorder (or Temporo-Mandibular Joint dysfunction) is where the joint that allows the jaw to open and close is misaligned or overworked.

Problems with the function of this joint are common, with symptoms including joint pain, clicking or popping of the jaw, limited opening, earaches and headaches.

It can be caused by:

  • Unbalanced bite
  • Unbalanced dental work
  • Increased muscle activity
  • Increased sensitivity to pain
  • Wear and tear to the inside of the joint
  • Certain types of arthritis
  • Injury

Recommended treatment for TMJ disorder is dependent on individual circumstances, considering the severity of the problem and the cause. Common treatments include:

  • Rest
  • Exercises
  • Physical Therapy
  • Pain Killers
  • Habit control - with the use of night time splits
  • Use of a bite splint to help the jaw muscles relax
  • Manual adjustment of the bite by grinding the teeth - occlusal adjustment
  • Reconstructive dentistry
  • Orthodontics

Your Temple Square Dental dentist will examine the physical functionality of the joint, as well as the internal health of the soft tissue within the mouth. X-rays and scans may also be used in order to obtain a full overview of functionality and determine the best course of treatment for your individual case.

If you are suffering from joint pain or have any concerns with your jaw function, give us a call on 01296 434848 to book a consultation today.

Efficiency ,highly competent and professional. Warm friendly inter-relational skills. Felt all staff really cared and were genuinely interested about the patient and their experience, not just now but in time ahead too. Don’t think it was just because they knew there would be a patient satisfaction survey. Has been my consistent experience over a number of years. They have their organisational values set up on the entrance, which they do seem to meet, for me at least. Congratulations to this practice.

Dr Prab Morgan is an excellent dentist. She explains every procedure which makes me feel more relaxed.

The care to patients is first class, from all staff, there are delays in waiting for appointment but I don’t mind that as they are looking after the patient before me which is the right thing to do.

I have been attending this surgery for many years, the environment is comfortable, the service very good and all members of staff are efficient and helpful. I would particulary single out Lucie and Prab. I don't enjoy going to the dentist but I have total confidence in this practice.

Humans dealing face to face with humans! Not reduced to second hand operations by way of a machine which replaces the warmth of human contact.

The dentist and nurse were very caring and helped overcome my fears. The treatment was excellent and no problems were experienced afterwards. Throughout the treatment, I felt confident in the dentist’s skill, as well as the competence of the nurse. The experience was less difficult than expected. Thank you.

I saw Dr Aron for my routine check up. He was very professional, remembered my issues, asked about my personal situation and explained his findings very clearly. I felt listened to and was confident with his skills and recommendations.

My younger sisters dentist Aaron is amazing, makes her feel comfortable and at ease. She is no longer worried when coming to the dentist. Amazing practice!!!

I was treated wholly without pain with a full explanation of what was about to occur. With two extractions I was expecting problems, but in fact there were none, and it was over much quicker than the time allowed.

13th June 2025

The staff are always polite, friendly and extremely helpful. I always feel valued as a patient. I have been a patient at this dental surgery for 48 years.
