An Over View on Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Your temporomandibular joint is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front of each ear. It lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side, so you can talk, chew, and yawn.

Causes:

• Grating or gripping your teeth, which squeezes the joint.
• Development of the delicate pad or plate between the ball and attachment of the joint.
• Joint pain in the joint.
• Stress, which can make you fix facial and jaw muscles or grip the teeth

Symptom:

• Agony or delicacy in your face, jaw joint region, neck and bears, and in or around the ear when you bite, talk, or open your mouth wide.
• Issues when you attempt to open your mouth wide.
• Jaws that get "stuck" or "lock" in the open-or shut mouth position.
• Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds in the jaw joint when you open or close your mouth or bite. This could conceivably be difficult.
• A drained inclination in your face.

Treatments:

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like naproxen or ibuprofen, can relieve muscle pain and swelling.
• Apply an ice pack to the side of your face and temple area for about 10 minutes.
• Add yogurt, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, soup, scrambled eggs, fish, cooked fruits and vegetables, beans, and grains to your menu.
• Don’t hold the phone between your shoulder and ear.
• Talk to your dentist about these tried-and-true treatments for TMD.
