Can getting cavities filled trigger previous TMJ symptoms and what's the best way to support TMJ and clenching from stress?

Most of the information all colleagues have submitted addresses your question well.
In brief, check with the dentist that your bite is balanced after filling was done. If it does not resolve your symptoms then seeing a TMJ speciality is necessary. Please, Please, Please do not use those mouth guards available in pharmacies and online. They do more harm, for several reasons, than help!
