Can getting cavities filled trigger previous TMJ symptoms and what's the best way to support TMJ and clenching from stress?
Anonymous Patient
Having your mouth open for an elongated period of time could trigger some TMJ symptoms. If the biting surface of the new filling is a little high or off it could cause some symptoms as well. It would be best to re-visit the dental office that placed your fillings to have them checked and talk about if a custom bite splint is an option to help alleviate the clenching and grinding due to stress.
