Relieve Jaw Pain with Expert TMJ & Bruxism Treatment in Toronto

If you’re experiencing jaw pain, headaches, or teeth grinding, you could be dealing with TMJ/TMD or bruxism. Our expert team at Clinton Dental offers effective, personalized treatments to alleviate discomfort and restore your oral health.
Understanding TMJ/TMD and Bruxism
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders and bruxism (teeth grinding) can cause significant pain and discomfort. TMJ disorders affect the joint connecting your jaw to your skull, leading to symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing. Bruxism, which often occurs during sleep, can damage teeth and worsen TMJ symptoms. At Clinton Dental, we specialize in diagnosing and treating both conditions.
