TMJ
Can getting cavities filled trigger previous TMJ symptoms and what's the best way to support TMJ and clenching from stress?
Anonymous Patient
Filling the cavity would not be source of your problem but opening you mouth for too long could aggravate your TMJ situation. These disorders are complex. You're better off seeing a specialist in these disorders.
