What treatment is used for TMJ disorders?
Although treatment can vary, some common methods of treating TMJ disorders include techniques to eliminate spasms and pain. Applying ice and moist heat to the face, using prescribed medications such as muscle relaxants or analgesics, massaging the muscles, and eating soft, non-chewy foods are among the techniques used to reduce spasms and pain. Bite plates can be worn to eliminate the harmful effects of clenching or grinding the teeth.
