Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and trouble chewing can all point to a problem with the temporomandibular joint, known as TMJ or TMD. The encouraging part is that most TMJ problems respond well to conservative, non-surgical care once the underlying cause is identified. TMJ and TMD treatment in Irving, TX, is led by Dr. Vishy Singh, DDS, a Marquette University graduate whose calm, problem-solving approach is well suited to tracking down what is actually driving your jaw pain, whether that is grinding, a bite issue, or muscle tension. He and the team focus on relieving your symptoms and protecting your teeth as part of comprehensive general dentistry care.
“Jaw pain is a symptom, not the whole story. My first job is figuring out what is actually causing it, because grinding, a bite problem, and muscle tension all need different solutions. When we treat the real cause, the relief tends to last.” — Dr. Vishy Singh, DDS
Dr. Young helped give me my dream smile. She is incredibly patient and truly listens to her patients. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Amazing staff and a great experience! Dr. Singh is a great doctor!
Friendly and knowledgeable from walking in the door and on the way out! I'm terrified of the dentist! I would recommend them to anyone who ask! And the are open Saturdays.
Great team dental assistants/dentist are so kind and nice would recommend this location if you want a good service .!!
Recognizing the Signs of TMJ & TMD
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are responsible for connecting your jaw to your skull, allowing for everyday actions like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When these joints become inflamed or misaligned, a condition known as TMD can develop—leading to frustrating and often painful symptoms such as:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Locking of the jaw
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Pain radiating to the ears, neck, or temples
- Frequent tension headaches or migraines
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, don’t ignore them. TMJ disorders can worsen over time if left untreated.
Non-Surgical Approaches to TMJ Relief
Most TMJ and TMD cases improve with conservative care aimed at the cause. Depending on what is driving your symptoms, the team may recommend a custom night guard or occlusal splint to reduce grinding and unload the joint, bite evaluation, jaw-muscle stretches and self-care, and short-term anti-inflammatory measures. The goal is steady, lasting relief while protecting your teeth from further wear.

- Quick and Comfortable: Treatment sessions take only minutes, with little to no downtime.
- Non-Surgical Relief: No invasive procedures or recovery time—just safe, effective symptom management.
