A member asked:
Is it safe to use lidocaine cream for tmj?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Topical lidocaine can be used for some symptoms associated with TMJ pain, but the real question is whether or not the topical application will provide enough soft tissue penetration for relief. A visit with your dentist would be recommended for treatment options that may provide better relief.
