Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
There are various signs and symptoms of
TMJ dysfunction few are;
-Pain around the TMJ area and ears.
-Tenderness in the jaw.
-Difficulty in mouth opening and pain on chewing.
-Clicking or popping sound on opening and closing of the mouth.
This can be diagnosed with the help of thorough clinical evaluation and radiographs.
TMJ disorders can be treated by;
- Use of analgesics and muscle relaxants.
-Application of moist heat towels on both the sides of TMJ as many times as possible.
-Use warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day.
-Taking mouth excercises.
-Having a
soft diet and avoiding wide opening of mouth during yawning and eating.
Hope this helps out.
Regards.
