Jaw Pain & TMJ Care

Don't let jaw pain disrupt your daily life. At Chandler & Nightingale Dental, we offer dedicated jaw pain and TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) care services, providing solutions for patients suffering from chronic discomfort. TMJ disorders can cause pain in your jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement, often resulting in headaches, earaches, difficulty in opening and closing the mouth, and even discomfort while chewing. Our expert team employs a holistic approach to diagnose and treat the root cause of your discomfort, leveraging modern techniques to help alleviate pain and improve quality of life.

Many people carry their stress in their jaws and results in a condition where they clench or grind their teeth known as bruxism. The additional forces on your teeth and jaw joints can cause a variety of inflammation disorders around the temporomandibular joint known as the TMJ. TMJ disorders can lead to jaw pain, chewing pain, muscle soreness, clicking and popping of your jaw joint, headaches, facial pain and tooth damage. For many people, bruxism and TMJ disorder can severely affect their quality of life. 

At Chandler & Nightingale Dental located at Yonge and St. Clair in Toronto, we screen and assess your jaw joints (TMJ) at every visit. We always begin with the most conservative approach, monitor closely and adjust our treatment plan based on how your joints respond to treatment.

Your journey to relief starts with an in-depth evaluation of your symptoms, jaw function, and overall oral health to accurately diagnose your condition. Based on this, we design a personalized treatment plan, which may include specialized exercises, medication, oral appliances, or, in rare cases, surgical intervention. Throughout your treatment, we closely monitor your progress, making necessary adjustments to ensure effective relief from symptoms. With Chandler & Nightingale Dental's jaw pain and TMJ care, you can expect compassionate care and professional expertise, paving the way towards a life free from chronic jaw discomfort.
