TMJ V/s Lifestyle

As Temporomandibular Joint Disorders have become common, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact root cause of jaw disorders. Visiting the best TMJ specialist in India, can help you overcome the causes quickly with extended support.

  • Did you know that stress tolerance beyond a certain limit can lead to tightly biting the upper and lower jaw or grinding of teeth, straining the TMJ muscles.
  • Trauma or facial injuries, especially to the jaw, can be a damaging factor of TMJ. Conditions like arthritis can lead to the TMJ connective problems
  • Regularly grinding of teeth during the night, also known as Bruxism, leads to pain and stress to the TMJ region.
  • Bite issues due to irregular placing of jaws can lead to TMJ problems, leading ultimately to digestion issues, without being able to chew the food properly.
  • Poor posture while sitting at your desk for long intervals without taking breaks can result in a drooping posture, that can strain your facial joint muscles leading to TMJ disorders.
  • Some hard, chewy and sticky foods may alleviate the TMJ problems. Maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding such unhealthy foods can keep your symptoms at check most of the time.
