A number of symptoms, such as headaches, clicking or popping noises, trouble eating, and jaw pain, can be caused by TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems. Improving jaw function, reducing discomfort, and averting more problems are the goals of TMJ pain treatment.
To identify the source of your symptoms, we will perform a comprehensive evaluation prior to beginning your TMJ therapy. It will consist of:
We will inquire about your medical history, lifestyle choices, and any current symptoms, including headaches, jaw pain, or trouble opening your mouth.
Examining your jaw’s range of motion, listening for any popping or clicking sounds in the joint, and assessing any soreness in the muscles are all part of our examination.
Imaging: In certain situations, a better image of the joint and surrounding structures may be obtained by taking X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs.
The assessment will be used to determine the best course of treatment. The following are a few typical first treatments:
Custom-made devices known as nightguards or splints are worn at night to reduce pressure on the jaw joint and stop teeth grinding.
Physical therapy: We might recommend activities to help you strengthen and relax the muscles surrounding your TMJ.
Before beginning additional therapies, pain and inflammation can be controlled with medications such as muscle relaxants or anti-inflammatory medicines.
Stress management: If stress is a factor, we could suggest methods like deep breathing, meditation, or therapy.
Rest Your Jaw: Steer clear of chewing gum, rough meals, and jaw clenching. Choose more tender dishes like yogurt, soup, and mashed potatoes.
Warm or Cold Compress: After receiving injections or physical therapy, use a warm compress to your jaw to assist relax the muscles or a cold compress to lessen soreness and swelling.
Jaw Exercises: If you were given jaw exercises, make sure to do them slowly in order to build muscle and enhance joint mobility. We’ll show you how to do it correctly.
Follow-Up Treatment: It’s critical to schedule routine follow-up appointments in order to track your progress and modify your treatment as needed. Depending on how your symptoms improve, we might adjust your course of treatment.
Pain management: If necessary, take any muscle relaxants or painkillers as indicated by us. In certain situations, we might provide extra pain management procedures like Botox or corticosteroid injections.
