The human body is made up of an astounding number
of anatomical systems. They all contribute to
keeping us active, happy, and experiencing life
to the fullest. Our bodies, however, occasionally
go through aches and pains that prevent us from
doing these things or make them difficult for us
to do. One prominent instance of this is TMJ
discomfort.
Contact our dentist's office right away for
additional details about TMJ therapy in NW
Calgary. TMJ Disorder What Is It? he
temporomandibular joint is referred to as TMJ.
Our jawbone and skull are connected by these
joints, which are located on either side of our
faces. Whether you know what I'm talking about or
not, we use these joints all the time to laugh,
talk, and chew our food. This disorder develops
when this joint has difficulty, which
consequently limits our ability to move it. TMJ
pain can result from a variety of factors,
including facial trauma, which can lead to jaw
injuries, inflammation, hyperextension, and
overuse.

If this is ignored, especially for an extended
length of time, you may feel lockjaw, headaches,
and soreness and stiffness not only in your jaw
but also in and around your ears and down your
neck. Your jaw may also have a tendency to click
or pop when you move your mouth.
Dentists can recognize and assist in treating TMJ
pain, which many individuals might not be aware
of. Dentists have extensive knowledge of the
anatomy of the mouth and how it interacts with
that of the head, neck, and even the shoulders.
So, consult a local dentist if you're feeling TMJ
pain. TMJ Pain Relief Just as stretching and

   maintaining a relaxed jaw, open your mouth and
   slide your teeth apart.
2. Perform the first part of the Goldfish exercise
   while resting your tongue on the roof of your
   mouth. With your other hand, lay a finger on
   your chin and another one in front of your ear
   where it joins your jaw. Slowly but not fully
   open your mouth.
3. The second phase of the goldfish exercise
   involves doing the same as the first, but fully
   opening your mouth.
4. Chin tucks - Lower your chin till you form the
   infamous "double chin" while maintaining a
   straight back.
5. Resisted mouth opening - Open your mouth a little
   at a time while holding your thumb underneath
   your chin. To add some resistance, push your
   chin into your thumb as you do this. Hold before
   closing.
6. Resist closing your mouth. With both hands, grasp
   your chin with your thumbs and index fingers.
