Tmj disorder - any home remedies to curing this?

TMJ - Depends: 1) depends on the level of damage. Tmj/muscle dysfunction problems are treated by a dentist. Select a dentist that routinely treats TMJ with functional orthopedic type applicances. Many dentist treat tmj, however only about 5% are really good at it. 2) at home - work with the jaw exercise on my web sit: dentalproblemsolvers.Com.

Maybe: Some nuscle soreness in the jaw area is sometimes labeled a TMJ problem. It may very well be, but first try warm towels a few times a day and some wide mouth opening a few times a day also. If the muscle relaxes and all is ok, great. If after about 5 days no improvement occurs, you need to see somebody.

Possible: Warm compresses to joint area, softer diet, no gum chewing and jaw joint exercise can help relieve mild issues but not cure.

A few ideas.: Self treat with soft diet, jaw exercises, massage, heat/cold, OTC pain meds. A splint or physical therapy would be next. Occasionally muscle relaxants, biofeedback. Xrays are done for diagnosis. Surgery usually reserved for serious symptoms not responsive to other treatments.

Simple solution: See OFP specialist. Orofacial Pain provides diagnosis and management of pain in the face, TMJ disorders, locking jaw as well as, associated headaches and neck pain. Orofacial pain patients can be treated with conservative, non-surgical and reversible procedures. They are the experts in this field.
