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

- Oral appliances to ease pressure on the joint
