Are you conscious of your teeth grinding or clenching? Do you have tight, stiff muscles around your jaws when you wake up? Do you frequently have headaches or neck aches? If you have any of these symptoms or others, such as jaw pain, you may be a candidate for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) Therapy.
At NB Dental Clinic, we believe that “less is more” when it comes to treatment, with the awareness that each patient is unique and has their own set of symptoms and lifestyle. That is why we endeavour to provide each of our patients with individualised care and personal consultations with the doctor. We believe in sending you with a “Happy Smile.”

There are a few basic temporary home remedies but no permanent solutions.

- Avoid teeth clenching and grinding.
