Ways To Effectively Treat Temporomandibular Disorder

By Armando Rodriguez


Temporomandibular joint disorders do only affect your eating habits and talking but also your breathing. Since the TMJ is located between the temporal and the mandible bones, a minor hitch can cause pain to the entire mouth. For anyone who finds that they suffer from the temporomandibular disorder, there various methods made to help cure such conditions within the shortest time possible.

One of the best ways for treating TMJ disorder is using medicine. The type of medicine to be prescribed to would depend on the severity of the disorder. Some TMJ symptoms would need you to take, anti-anxiety medicine while others would need you to take muscle relaxants. Sometimes, you would also need to take the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Eating soft foods is also important to when treating TMJ disorders. You can consider eating foods which do not entail much chewing like scrambled eggs, yogurt, soup and mashed potatoes as this gives your jaws time to rest and cure. Eating soft foods can help your TMJ symptoms disappear within two to three weeks depending on the condition of the jaw.

Splints are another solution when curing temporomandibular joint disorders. The grinding of teeth mostly known as bruxism can injure and increase the pain. Consequently, to reduce the chances of the upper and lower teeth coming together, a doctor might prescribe you to a splint. These devices are made to fit over the teeth reducing the pressure in the jaw muscles and joints which gives them time to rest and heal.

Using moist heat on the side of the face where such discomfort is can also help greatly. This heat is essential for loosening the stressed muscles, which may be the cause of such disorders. You should also have to use ice on the same area to boost the healing process.

Some TMJ symptoms would also need the use of the ultrasound therapy or the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation treatment. Ultrasound and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation devices are made to operate under controlled electrical current to loosen the jaw joints and facial muscles. Once the joints and muscles are loosened, this reduces the pain and improves the performance of the jaws.

Doctors can also use trigger point injections to treat TMJ disorders. The dentist would have to inject an anesthetic to the tender facial muscles to lessen the pain. When undergoing this treatment, patients can be prescribed to various exercises to help stretch the muscles to boost the healing process.

These are a few of the most effective ways for treating a temporomandibular disorder each of which would vary in cost and effectiveness. Some therapies are cheap and easy to handle but may take long before someone can observe any positive results. Others can be costly and hard to handle but somehow the results can be obtained within a short time. It for this reason people would have to consider which to choose.
