Most of our patients arrive after being told nothing is wrong.
The spot most patients press without thinking - the joint itself, just in front of the ear.
-
I've seen several doctors and dentists, but no one could explain what's happening.
-
I've tried medications, mouthguards, and therapies, but my symptoms keep returning.
-
I was told it was stress or that I just had to live with it.
Each of those symptoms has a real mechanism behind it. The self-check below shows you which ones point back to the jaw joint, and why.
See the connectionFind out if your jaw is the reason.
Tick anything that sounds like you. Each one shows where it sits on the jaw system and why it traces back to the joint. Takes about a minute.
The rings mark the temporomandibular joint - where the jaw meets the skull.

TMJ Pain Management Program
The non-surgical program Dr. Uy spent ten years curating, built around your own bite and symptom pattern.

What is TMJ?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint - your jaw joint. It connects your lower teeth and jaw bone to your skull, and it is the joint you use every time you speak, chew or yawn.
What is TMJ Dysfunction?
TMJ Dysfunction, also called TMD, is a condition where the teeth, jaw bone and facial muscles are unable to work harmoniously together. Because those structures are connected to the head, ears and neck, the symptoms often show up somewhere other than the jaw itself.
How much is the TMJ Health Screening?
The TMJ Health Screening is Php 3,800.00. It is a 15-minute diagnostic appointment and is available for patients aged 12 and above.
Do I need a referral to book?
No referral is needed. Most patients book the TMJ Health Screening directly, and many arrive after other treatments have not resolved their symptoms.
Do you accept HMO or Maxicare?
DBU Dental Care is not affiliated with any HMO or Maxicare provider. We do offer 0% interest installment plans through BPI, HSBC, Chinabank, American Express and Metrobank.
Is TMJ treatment at DBU surgical?
The TMJ Pain Management Program is non-surgical. It is a personalised plan built around your own bite, muscle pattern and diagnosis.
Stop guessing what your jaw is doing.
The TMJ Health Screening is a 15 minutes diagnostic that tells you whether the joint is the cause. Php 3,800.00, ages 12 and up.
