A few ideas: Self treat with soft diet, jaw exercises, massage, heat/cold, OTC pain meds. Avoid excessive gum chewing. Avoid clenching or grinding teeth. Avoid destructive habits like "popping" your jaw, cracking nuts with your teeth, etc.

See OFP specialist: In most cases, the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ can be manged with conservative care. Severe TMJ disorders may require surgical repair. See Orofacial Pain specialist for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
