Amid all the\nstress, have you noticed that your jaw hurts? Maybe more than usual? When you\nfeel stressed, you can clench or grind your teeth, a condition called bruxism,\nbut this common reaction to stress can cause you some additional problems to\ndeal with. If you\u2019re experiencing jaw pain, you can get help! TMJ therapy in\nLincoln can relieve your symptoms and help prevent damage to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is TMJ disorder?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, which is located\njust in front of each of your ears. This complex joint can move back and forth,\nside to side, and up and down, making it one of the most complex joints in the\nbody. As a result, sometimes things can go wrong with it, causing the following\nsymptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pain or click in the jaw.<\/li><li>Difficulty opening or closing your mouth,\nparticularly with chewing.<\/li><li>Headaches.<\/li><li>Locking of your jaw in the open position.<\/li><li>Excessive wear on your teeth.<\/li><li>Ear pain that isn\u2019t caused by an infection.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think you have TMJ disorder, contact your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.williamsburgdentalllc.com\/general-dentistry.html\">dentist<\/a>\nin Lincoln. They may be able to find a solution to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What causes TMJ disorder?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the complicated network of muscles, ligaments,\nand other soft tissues, any number of things can cause a problem with the TMJ,\nincluding the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A misaligned bite or crooked teeth.<\/li><li>Muscle tension.<\/li><li>Arthritis.<\/li><li>An injury or blow to the face or mouth.<\/li><li>Clenching or grinding your teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is TMJ disorder treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, the unpleasant symptoms of TMJ problems\neventually go away on their own, but for those that don\u2019t, you need to find the\npotential source of your TMJ disorder. Then you can address the root of the\nproblem, not just the symptoms. For example, if you grind your teeth while you\nsleep, your dentist can provide you with an oral appliance to wear at night\nthat keeps your teeth from touching. Of if you have a crooked bite, you may\nneed to pursue orthodontic treatment to correct the problem. In the case of\nclenching your teeth from stress, you may need to learn and practice\nstress-relieving exercises, such as slow, deep breathing and meditation. To\nalleviate the pain, you can use over-the-counter pain medication and use hot or\ncold compresses to soothe the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be able to do something to treat TMJ pain and\nprevent it from coming back in the future. By seeking professional help with\nyour TMJ disorder, you can make sure that your jaw and teeth remain healthy for\nmany years to come. If you have questions about TMJ disorder, your dentist is a\ngreat resource to turn to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Williamsburg Dental, patients throughout Lincoln have\nsix convenient locations to choose from.
