Helping Your TMJ Disorder: Things That Aren’t A Good Idea

Posted by

There are some things that can really help your TMJs if you’re suffering from TMJ disorder. As you may have guessed, of course, there are also some things that can really cause additional problems for your TMJs if you’re not careful. Unfortunately, you may not necessarily find that you know up from down or left from right when we’re talking about the “good” versus the “bad” in this case. You may want, as a result, to think about some of the things that our Cleveland, TX team considers “not such as great idea” as you navigate this new territory for protecting your oral health.

Trying To Stretch Your Jaw Joints

Maybe you’ve decided that since your jaw joints feel tight and tired, you should probably do what you would do for any other part of your body: You figure that you’ll stretch them and exercise them to get them to loosen up and to feel better. While we completely understand where you’re coming from and what makes you think this is a good choice, we also suggest against this decision. Did you know that taking this matter into your own hands isn’t beneficial to those with TMJ disorder? Unfortunately, this will likely yield further aggravation and exhaustion to TMJs that are already overworked and damaged. Instead, do your best to rest them.

Living Life As Always

You may also tell yourself that you’re being silly. Everyone ends up with some discomfort here and there and what you should probably do is just not focus on the pain or fatigue of your TMJs. Instead, you decide you’ll go about life as usual, you’ll eat as you always do, and you’ll just not worry. Of course, our team does not want you to stress about this issue. We do, however, want you to realize that you’re going to need to make some changes to prevent your TMJ disorder from worsening. Learn more when you visit us!

Figuring Our Care Can’t Really Help
