TMJ Pain (Jaw Pain)

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder may be due to a combination of problems, such as arthritis or a jaw injury.

TMJ Pain (Jaw Pain)

Understanding TMJ Pain

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is the term used when your teeth and jaw are out of their correct alignment. This may cause a variety of significant oral and general health problems. Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the ball and socket joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. Itโ€™s one of the most flexible and frequently used joints in your body, enabling you to move your jaw freely so you can speak, chew, yawn and laugh.

Aftercare for TMJ Pain

Proper aftercare is essential to manage jaw pain and prevent recurrence:

  • Maintain good oral hygiene to prevent additional dental issues that could exacerbate jaw pain.
  • Stick to soft foods that do not strain your jaw.
  • Perform jaw exercises as recommended by a healthcare provider to strengthen and relax the jaw muscles.
  • ย Engage in stress-relief activities such as yoga, meditation, and deep-breathing exercises.
  • Regularly consult your dentist or healthcare provider to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
