TMJ & Jaw Pain Treatment in Wadgaon Sheri, Pune
What is TMJ & Jaw Pain Treatment?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. Grinding, stress, bite problems or injury can strain it, causing jaw clicking, difficulty opening, ear fullness, neck stiffness and headaches. At Dr. Sneha-The Dental Studio in Wadgaon Sheri, Pune, we offer conservative TMJ treatment for patients from Kharadi, Viman Nagar and Kalyani Nagar.
Dr. Sneha Sardar (BDS) assesses with digital X-rays and bite analysis and uses custom occlusal splints, jaw muscle therapy and bite balancing, without surgery. Grinding may need a night guard; worn bites may need full mouth rehabilitation. You can book a consultation.

Recovery & aftercare
Good aftercare protects your result. We'll give you personalised instructions after treatment; this is a general guide to what most patients can expect.
Recovery timeline
- Nightly splint wear
Wear your custom stabilization splint every night while sleeping to decompress the jaw joints.
- Soft diet during flare-ups
Stick to soft, easy-to-chew foods (khichdi, pasta, soups, eggs) and avoid chewing gum or hard nuts.
- Warm compress therapy
Apply warm, moist heat packs to the jaw muscles for 10 minutes in the morning and evening to promote muscle relaxation.
Aftercare tips
- Avoid resting your chin in your hands or cradling your mobile phone between your ear and shoulder, as this creates asymmetrical joint strain
- Practice the 'lips together, teeth apart' resting rule: your teeth should only touch when actively swallowing food
- Never chew chewing gum or bite your fingernails or pen caps, as repetitive motions keep jaw muscles in chronic spasm
Call us if you notice
- Sudden complete inability to open or close your jaw (closed or open lock) requires prompt emergency clinical attention
- Severe sharp pain accompanied by swelling over the joint in front of the ear
- Numbness or tingling sensation along the cheek, lower jaw, or lips
