How To Treat Temporomandibular Joint Disease

Shifts In Diet

Other holistic methods and lifestyle changes can be utilized at home to treat temporomandibular joint disease. Making shifts in your diet is one of those simple options. Though this will typically only work when relieving minor pain and will not improve any structural problems with your jaw, it is a small life hack that can make eating much more pleasant. This works on the principle of avoiding overusing the jaw muscles. Eating hard, sticky, or overly-chewy foods requires more work from the jaw, something that can really fire-up pain in patients with TMJ disease. Avoiding these foods is an easy way to allow the jaw to relax when eating. Stick to soft foods and cut your food into smaller pieces.
