Are you making your TMJ worse?
29th November 2017
Temporomandibular Joint disorder affects the joint where your jaw and your skull attach. Also known as TMJ, it has symptoms like pain, jaw soreness and muscle tension. So, what are the causes?
Key takeaways:
– Chewing on pens, ice or fingernails
– Using your teeth to open bottles or envelopes.
– Pressure exerted on the jaw during teeth grinding or stress.
– Bad posture like hanging your head, hunching over and not standing up straight.
Visit the dentist, to know if you have the disorder, sit properly and avoid grinding your teeth.
