A system and method for decreasing pain in dental patients by use of a transdermal patch placed over the temporomandibular joint. To provide relief from jaw pain and/or to prepare a patient for an upcoming dental procedure, a patch containing a pre-selected medication is placed over the temporomandibular joint in front of a patient's ear. The medication from the patch passes through the skin and into the jaw lessening the pain and soreness connected with traditional dental procedures from having one's mouth opened for an extended period of time.
