  • Perform prescribed jaw exercises to strengthen muscles and improve jaw function.
  • Consistent exercise routines can help alleviate TMJ/TMD discomfort and improve mobility.

  • Stress Management

  • Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to relax jaw muscles.
  • Stress management can reduce TMJ/TMD symptoms triggered by tension and anxiety.
  • Avoid Teeth Clenching and Grinding

    I cannot say enough about this practice and I’ve just had a consultation which I’ve avoided for 8 years. I’m a horrible dental patient. And they made me feel so welcome!!!

    I had an appointment today at Towne Centre Family Practice, in Hillsborough, NJ and was pleasently surprised. I was weary after the retirement of my previous dentist who I had for about 30 years. I was impressed with the entire staff and process I went through at Towne Centre. Also, the office was immaculate. The staff made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in till the moment I left. They explained all procedures very clearly and in terms I could understand. Towne Centre will be my new dentist office. From a very satisfied customer, Edie T

    In April I passed out and lost my front tooth just one month before my senior prom! I thought I would be toothless for my last prom before I graduated and I was heart broken. Thankfully my mom got me a dentist appointment as fast as she could and I could not have been more grateful for the love and comfort I got from the staff at Towne Centere Family Dental. I had Dr. Lauren and Lucy and they made me feel like the most important patient they had and gave me so much love while I was in pain. For my tooth I needed a root canal (at a separate facility) and they sent me to the best one they knew. Also since I had lost my front tooth they wanted my tooth to blend in to the rest as best as possible. They sent me to a lab for color matching and because of the patient care that I had at Towne Centre Family Dental I had the biggest smile at my senior prom and all the days that have come since. I thank them every time I smile and could not have asked for a better Dentist.
