    Continuing Care and Maintenance
    TMJ/TMD treatment requires regular follow-ups, jaw exercises, stress management, dietary modifications, and avoiding harmful habits for relief.

    Regular Follow-ups

  • 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.

    I am very pleased with Town Center Family Dental in Hillsborough NJ. I have been a patient of the practice for over four years. The dental treatment and services are state of the art and performed with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. I have had some interim dental issues between my six-month scheduled cleanings. These issues have been addressed immediately. I have never had to wait to get an appointment or the matter not taken care of in a timely manner. The insurance/billing office is equally efficient looking into out-of-pocket cost and communicating that to the patient. Staff here are very professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They are a comprehensive dental practice.

Dr. Al, Merlinda, and the entire staff are always so kind, professional, and beyond talented! Melissa, the financial manager, has also been great to work with and always available to answer any questions I’ve had. In the past, I never enjoyed visiting the dentist but can honestly say that has changed since coming to this practice. They are the best!
