TMJ Treatment to Stop Jaw Pain and Headaches
TMJ disorders and teeth grinding can disrupt your daily life, causing pain, headaches, and damaged teeth. At Teneriffe Dental, we go beyond treating symptoms. We identify the root cause of your discomfort and provide effective solutions. From custom mouthguards to muscle relaxants, we’ll help you find relief and protect your smile.
What is TMJ Treatment?
TMJ disorders affect the jaw joint and muscles, leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and difficulty with chewing or speaking. Teeth grinding (bruxism) can wear down enamel, cause jaw strain, and disrupt your sleep. If left untreated, these issues can worsen and impact your overall oral health. At Teneriffe Dental, we understand how these conditions affect your daily life and we are dedicated to helping you find relief.

Being new to the area I had the need for an urgent filling. I found the practice very patient and caring, as I also have a mega phobia of dentists, but everyone was really good and efficient and the best part was “it didn’t hurt”. Go Teneriffe Dental. I’ve actually made an appointment for follow-up work. Thanks, Virginia

I have a fear of dentists from several bad experiences. Dr Hayden and Grace made me feel completely comfortable and I even had a pain free filling replacement. Most relaxed I’ve ever been at a dentist. Highly recommend

Visiting the dentist has never been such a pleasant experience for me. Dr. Stewart is a wonderful person; just talking to him left a positive impression. His level of communication with patients is exceptional. I had very pleasant feelings about the clinic itself; it turns out that the art on the walls is the work of Dr. Stewart. I definitely recommend this place to everyone in and around Newstead and Tenerife—you won't regret.
