Prevent TMJ Pain Before It Starts
At Barclay Dental, we help patients avoid the long-term discomfort of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues with preventive care and modern dental technology.
We focus on early detection, bite alignment, and jaw health to reduce your risk of chronic pain, clicking, or locking in the jaw.
What Is TMD?
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. When that joint is stressed or misaligned, it can lead to pain, restricted movement, and difficulty chewing or speaking.
We see the earliest signs of TMD in your bite — and with tools like 3D imaging and digital scanning, we’re able to track subtle changes over time to keep your jaw healthy and aligned.
How We Help Prevent TMD
At Barclay Dental, prevention is everything. When you come in for regular checkups, we monitor your bite and jaw movement to catch early signs of stress or misalignment.
This lets us intervene before symptoms develop, often with simple lifestyle adjustments or night guards if grinding is a concern. By combining personalized care with advanced diagnostics, we help you avoid more complex TMD issues down the road.
Is Your Jaw Trying to Tell You Something?
Clicking, locking, or soreness when you chew? Headaches with no clear cause? Talk to Dr. Nael Meri or Dr. Omar Salem at either of our Barclay Dental locations.
We’ll take a closer look and help you take the right steps to protect your jaw long-term. Let’s keep your bite balanced — and your life pain-free.
