Occlusal guard: Beside medications such anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant or antidepressants, you should consider an occlusal guard to protect your teeth from chipping and wearing down, you should seek the advice of a dental specialist in TMJ to get a comprehensive examination and determine the appropriate treatment that is best for you.
