How do you treat TMJ?
Relaxation techniques can be a simple, yet effective way to treat TMJ. Your dentist might recommend a mouth guard to keep your teeth and jaw from grinding. Perhaps the most common treatment is anti-inflammatory medication to help lower the amount of pressure on the joints in your mouth.
