TMJ Treatment in Brampton
Relief for Jaw Pain, Clicking & Tension
Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and facial tension can all be signs of a TMJ disorder. At Mayfield Dental, we provide TMJ treatment in Brampton to help patients find relief from jaw discomfort and improve everyday function.
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect the jaw to the skull and allow you to speak, chew, and open your mouth comfortably. When these joints become strained or irritated, they can lead to pain and difficulty with normal jaw movement.
Led by Dr. Nibal Kellow Pasat, our dental team has been helping patients across Brampton and Caledon since 2009 with personalized dental care focused on comfort and long-term oral health.

What Is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorder, sometimes called TMD, affects the jaw joints and the muscles that control jaw movement.
These joints are located on both sides of the face, just in front of the ears. When the joints or surrounding muscles become inflamed or overworked, patients may experience discomfort and limited jaw function.
TMJ problems can range from mild jaw clicking to chronic pain that affects eating, speaking, and sleep.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorder
TMJ disorders can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
Jaw pain or tenderness
Clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth
Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully
Pain while chewing
Facial soreness
Headaches or migraines
Ear pain or pressure
Jaw stiffness, especially in the morning
If you notice these symptoms regularly, a dental evaluation can help determine whether TMJ treatment may help.

TMJ Treatment
A personalized treatment plan helps address the underlying cause of the problem.
TMJ Treatment Options
At Mayfield Dental, treatment recommendations depend on the patient’s symptoms and the cause of the problem.
Common TMJ treatment options may include:
Custom Night Guards
A custom night guard can help reduce pressure on the jaw joints caused by clenching or grinding during sleep. This appliance creates a protective cushion between the teeth and may help reduce strain on the jaw muscles.
Bite Adjustment or Occlusal Evaluation
If bite imbalance is contributing to jaw strain, your dentist may evaluate how your teeth come together and recommend treatment to improve function.
Lifestyle & Home Care Guidance
Patients may also benefit from advice such as:
● Avoiding hard or chewy foods
● Using warm compresses
● Practicing jaw relaxation techniques
● Reducing clenching habits during the day
These strategies may help relieve symptoms and support recovery.
What to Expect During a TMJ Evaluation
A TMJ consultation helps the dentist understand your symptoms and determine the best treatment approach.
Your appointment may include:
Discussion of Symptoms
The dentist reviews your jaw pain, headaches, clicking, and any related discomfort.
Jaw & Bite Examination
Your jaw joints, muscles, and bite alignment are evaluated.
Treatment Planning
If TMJ disorder is suspected, the dentist recommends a personalized plan to reduce strain and relieve symptoms.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Leaving TMJ symptoms untreated may lead to worsening discomfort over time.
Early treatment may help:
Prevent chronic jaw pain
Reduce tooth wear from grinding
Improve chewing and speaking comfort
Minimize muscle tension and headaches
Protect long-term oral function
The sooner the cause is identified, the sooner treatment can begin.
