TMJ Sydney: Personalised care for jaw pain that persists
At CBD Dental, we listen deeply, treat gently, and bring clarity to a condition that is often misunderstood.
Your jaw shouldn’t limit your life
Jaw clicking. Chronic tension. Difficulty eating. Maybe you’ve assumed this is just “something you have to live with.” But let’s face it, this isn’t a passing annoyance; it interrupts your life. TMJ dysfunction and teeth grinding often go untreated for too long, putting pressure on your teeth, your bite, and your quality of life.
At CBD Dental, we look beyond the symptoms of TMJ disorder to understand the root cause. We blend thoughtful diagnostics and a deep understanding of jaw movements to help it move freely again. Our warm, experienced team will help you navigate your TMJ Sydney treatment options with care.
What is TMJ dysfunction?
Your TMJ (temporomandibular joint) connects your jaw to your skull and helps you eat, speak, and move your mouth with ease. But when that joint (or the muscles around it) becomes overworked, strained, or misaligned, things stop working the way they should.
TMJ dysfunction can show up as clicking, locking, aching, or tightness in your jaw joint – sometimes even headaches, facial tension or TMJ pain. If you’ve noticed jaw trouble, we can help you understand whether it’s TMJ and what support we can offer at CBD Dental.
Why choose CBD Dental for TMJ treatment Sydney?
At CBD Dental, we approach treatment for TMJ disorder with care that’s as thoughtful as it is effective. No quick fixes, but a thorough, coordinated plan that fits your life. With almost 130 years of combined experience and a deep understanding of how oral health impacts your whole system, we take the time to get it right.
Here's what that means for you:

Your TMJ questions, answered
Common signs include jaw clicking or popping, difficulty when you open and close your mouth, headaches from muscle tension, and difficulty chewing or speaking comfortably. If these symptoms are ongoing, come into the clinic so we can assess them.
Most patients feel some relief within a few weeks, especially when consistently following their treatment plan. Full improvement depends on your bite, muscle condition, and habits like clenching and grinding.
Teeth grinding (or bruxism) can be linked to things like stress, caffeine, alcohol use, certain drugs or medications, or even a misaligned bite. Sometimes, there’s no clear cause, but we can help you get to the bottom of it.
Many people clench or grind their teeth without realising, especially during sleep. You might wake with a headache, notice tooth sensitivity, or someone might mention the sound. Over time, bruxism can lead to:
- Worn, chipped, or broken teeth
- Jaw pain, chronic pain, and TMJ issues
- Headaches, neck or shoulder tension
- Ringing in the ears
- Sensitivity to cold foods or beverages
- Fatigue or poor sleep
- Facial inflammation
- Infection or even bony growths under the tongue
Left untreated, bruxism can impact your daily comfort and long-term health. While stress and lifestyle can play a part, we’re here to help you treat the cause (and the consequences) with considered care.
TMJ dysfunction and bruxism affect everyone differently, so at CBD Dental, your care starts with a full evaluation of your bite, muscles, and habits. From there, we create a plan that’s built around you.
Treatment options might include:
- A custom-fitted occlusal splint (night guard)
- Bite or filling adjustments
- Correcting misalignment
- Restoring damaged teeth
- Lifestyle or stress-related guidance
- Referral for surgical treatment, if required
- Pain relief, like anti inflammatories
We’ll walk you through each option clearly. And because we’ve seen these conditions improve with the right approach, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Not at all! We also provide general, cosmetic, and restorative dental care – everything from check-ups and cleans to Invisalign, smile makeovers, dental implants, veneers, teeth whitening, and more.
