Jaw pain is one of the most notorious pains ever experienced. Here are the causes and the way to keep the jaw pain aka TMJ away.
Here are the causes of jaw pain.
Weather conditions
During winter, jaw pain can aggravate and become more painful. If left untreated for long, it can pose a serious threat.
Due to other organs
Any imbalance in teeth alignment can affect your entire body. Even the posture of your body can be one of the reasons contributing to jaw pain and vice versa. Jaw pain can lead to spondylosis, which a large number of people are unaware about. It can also lead to migraines.
Does age plays factor
It isn’t restricted to any particular age group and can happen any time between the ages of 18 and 50 years or probably even beyond that. There is no age constraint as it depends on the cause.
Treatment
It is very important to see a dentist who specializes in TMD or an ENT medical specialist so that the cause can be diagnosed at an early stage to avoid further complications. A dentist might create a mouth-guard to protect your teeth when you sleep. You also might want to see a psychotherapist to talk about stress reduction.
You may need to meditate, undergo physiotherapy or take anti-anxiety drugs. If the cause is due to malocclusion, you may need orthodontic treatment. If the pain is due to a TMJ disorder, you can take over-the-counter pain relieving medicines. Try gently massaging the sides of your face, cheek and jaw. Put a cold compress on your face. Consider getting your magnesium levels checked.
