TMD/TMJ : More Than Just Jaw Pain

Jaw discomfort, frequent headaches, or even worn teeth can signal problems with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). At our Carrollton practice, Dr. Tejal Kakade helps patients identify the root cause of their pain and creates personalized care plans to restore function and comfort.

Why TMJ Disorders Matter

TMJ/TMD issues don’t just affect your bite—they can trigger headaches, neck tension, sleep disruption, and tooth damage over time. By addressing these problems early, patients often see improvements in both comfort and quality of life.

Your Options at Our Practice

Treatment is always personalized and may include:

  • Oral appliances to ease pressure on the joint
  • Therapies to improve jaw movement and reduce strain
  • Lifestyle adjustments to limit stress-driven clenching
  • Collaboration for advanced options like Botox® if needed

Quinderious R.

This was absolutely the best experience I have ever had with any dentist. Dr. Tejal is so attentive to the needs of her patients. She cares deeply about the quality of service provided and taking care of you individually. You don't feel like a number. You leave knowing that you received the best care and beautiful smile to go with it.

I have never had a bad experience going to see Dr. Kakade and her amazing, caring staff. They make it super easy to book an appointment, send you helpful reminders via text, and you are in and out in a short amount of time with hardly any wait time. The office is warm and inviting with nice decor and even dentist chairs that massage you! Best of all, the entire staff genuinely care about their patients and want to help them have the best experience possible. They remember you and get to know you. I actually look forward to going!

Dr. Tejal and her wonderful staff do everything humanly possible to make every patient feel welcomed, supported, and cared for with the utmost compassion and professionalism. It feels as though one has been adopted into a family of caretakers and that you are a part of the family. 5 Stars and thumbs up all the way! They are the best! I speak from personal experience.

My family has used Dr. Tejal since she started her practice in Carrollton. She is thorough, detailed, and comprehensive in her approach to dental care. She seems to invest in new technology and modern methods to make routine and extraordinary care as easy for the patient as possible. Candy has been my hygienist for over a decade and does a fantastic job restoring my teeth to tip-top shape. On the rare occasion when Candy was unavailable, the other members of Dr. Tejal's team have been excellent.

Jordan D.

Calm and peaceful office.

Wonderful office staff, nice environment. Dr. Tejal and staff do a great job of making one feel comfortable and the dental work after local anesthesia want uncomfortable. Few people like going to the dentist, but my experience here has been excellent.
