TMJ treatment focuses on relieving pain and dysfunction affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the jaw to the skull. Treatment may include a detailed assessment, custom-made oral appliances, bite analysis, physiotherapy recommendations, and other non-surgical approaches designed to improve jaw function and reduce discomfort.

You should consider seeking professional advice if you experience persistent jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when opening your mouth, difficulty chewing, headaches, facial pain, ear discomfort, or restricted jaw movement. An assessment can help identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and determine the most appropriate treatment options.

Because these symptoms can have multiple causes, a comprehensive assessment is important to determine whether the temporomandibular joint may be contributing to your symptoms.

Treatment for TMJ dysfunction depends on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms. Options may include custom-made splints, management of teeth grinding or clenching, bite-related treatment where appropriate, physiotherapy recommendations, and lifestyle modifications. The aim is to reduce pain, improve jaw movement, and support long-term function using evidence-based approaches.

No. Most patients can book a consultation directly without a referral. During the appointment, your symptoms, jaw function, medical history, and any relevant scans or previous treatments will be reviewed to help determine the most appropriate next steps.
