Causes and Cures: TMD In Brentwood TN
Determining the exact cause of TMD can be difficult. Often as not, it is the result of several factors. Whatever the cause, it can result in a lot of pain. At Sleep Apnea & TMJ Solutions in Brentwood TN, we can find out what’s going on and treat it.
TMJ is the formal term for the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull. TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint.
In many cases of TMJ disorder, or TMD, the pain is temporary. It can be managed with non-surgical care. Treatment may be as simple as using an ice pack on the affected area, not opening your mouth too wide, or temporarily eating soft foods. Eating soft foods might sound a little funny, but it gives your jaw muscles a chance to recover.
Some of the symptoms of TMD may be the result of clenching or grinding your teeth at night. In those cases, wearing a mouth guard while you sleep may provide relief.
