Managing TMJ Symptoms 

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) is a common disorder
characterized by inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, located
where your jaw connects to the skull below your ear. TMJ symptoms
include jaw clicking and popping, ear and jaw aches, pain while chewing, headaches, and ringing in the ears. TMJ can occur on one or both sides
of the jaw and has many causes including trauma, tooth grinding
(also known as bruxism), jaw misalignment, gum chewing, nail biting,
and degenerative changes. 

If you experience TMJ symptoms, you should immediately seek advice
from a qualified dentist who can recommend courses of treatment ranging from symptom alleviation to surgery.

In the meantime, you can try some of these techniques to help
control your pain.
