Jaw Joint Pain, TMD, Temporomandibular Joint
I am a maxillofacial surgeon, I wish to highlight few points in regard of temporomandibular joint dysfunction or else called as jaw joint pain.
1) joint pain takes time to relieve, it goes slowly.
2) soft diet is must.
3) splints should be worn all day except while eating, it's thickness vary according to severity of tmj problem and it should be decided by your dentist.
4) never do joint clicking deliberately.
5) moist heat fomentation helps a lot.
Any other query, I am happy to help.
