What are the best way to deal with tmj pain?

Complicated problem: Depends on what your symptoms are, how bad your symptoms are. Depends on the cause of your TMJ condition. Try self help first, soft diet, application of heat or cold. Massage affected areas. Stress reduction-meditation. Restful sleep, good nutrition. Over the counter anti-inflammatory meds. If symptoms persist, see a dentist specializing in TMJ disorders.

TX can vary: The cause of your tmj/tmd, if known and the duration of your problem, may dictate the treatment. Often treatment for TMJ can vary from person to person and also may sometimes involve seeing other doctors. Physical therapy, tens, ultrasound therapy, exercises, and mouthpieces are the most standard types of treatment. You may need combinations of all.
