From now on gradually establish good health habits 1, when not chewing, not swallowing, do not bite teeth; avoid clenching teeth when angry, driving, thinking and other focused on something; do not bite cheeks, lips, fingers or nails. 2, there is a clenching teeth or night grinding syndrome should be timely diagnosis and treatment. Clenching and night grinding are closely related to temporomandibular joint disorder. Choose a doctor you trust for proper, professional and quality treatment. 3, in the growth and development period should be appropriate to eat more food with a certain degree of hardness, in order to facilitate the sound jaw facial muscle function, stimulate the normal development of bone and normal eruption of teeth. 4.Injury to the chin (jaw) can easily cause damage to the temporomandibular joint, and a doctor of the temporomandibular joint department should be consulted in time to prevent further development of temporomandibular joint disorder after joint injury. 5. Relax your muscles and joints by listening to soft music, meditating, massaging, or doing a deep whistle. Or habitually keep the jaw in the “resting tooth position”. 6, avoid prolonged thinking with hands on the chin or face, watching TV, using the computer, etc., you can use a small pillow or a rolled towel on the back to keep the head, neck and shoulders in a more comfortable position. 7.Don’t habitually put the phone between your shoulder and ear when answering the phone. 8.Pay attention to the time of oral treatment. In the clinic, we often see TMJ problems caused by oral treatment, such as tooth extraction, root canal treatment, tooth preparation, etc. A few patients will have symptoms of TMJ disorder after treatment: pain, popping, difficulty in opening mouth, etc. Therefore, we recommend that when you visit a dentist, you should control the time within half an hour and take a five-minute break every fifteen minutes; use minimally invasive methods to extract teeth and eliminate “violence” such as hammering. 9, good chewing habits, bilateral balanced diet, avoid chewing on the side. 10, to get used to eating “soft food”, do not eat or eat less hard food, nuts and fruits, such as beef tendon, steak, beef jerky, bone meat, etc.; eat apples, etc., to cut into small slices before eating; eat sugar cane walnuts, avoid directly to bite. Do not eat or eat less gum, chewing gum and other tough, not easy to chew food; do not use your teeth to open the cap of the wine bottle. 11, do not eat or eat less coffee beans, salads and chocolate; drink less tea, because these items contain caffeine, the latter will stimulate the muscles near the joints to contract tension. 12, warm water gargle, it is recommended that every day after three meals, gargle with warm water, requiring water temperature of 40 ° or more, the muscle relaxation has certain benefits. 13, eliminate “sleeping on your back” to reduce the burden on the temporomandibular joint; side sleep should also pay attention to the posture, to make the neck and joints in a line. 14, pay attention to the correct “yawn”. When yawning, the tongue should be held against the upper jaw to avoid opening the mouth wide. Many patients will reflect that this yawn is not “cool” enough, but the wide open mouth itself is damage to our joints, for example, many patients will not be able to close their mouths when they open wide, that is, the temporomandibular joint dislocation. These are all damaging behaviors to the joints. When yawning, hold your chin with your hand to protect it well. 15, maintain the correct jaw position: this is the jaw resting position that we have to maintain for a long time. The lower jaw is in a resting state at complete rest, the upper and lower teeth are naturally separated, and a certain gap is maintained between the pick-up surfaces of the upper and lower jaw teeth, and this gap gradually becomes smaller from front to back, called the resting test gap. This gap is generally 2 to 4 mm for the front teeth, and this is the position or posture that the jaws maintain at normal rest, which means that the patient needs to try to maintain it at times other than eating and sleeping. This is because this is the position where the muscles around our joints are most relaxed and where there is the least amount of pressure within the joint. For patients, generally after 21 days of adaptation, most people can gradually get used to this position. 16, local wet and hot joint compresses (once in the morning and once in the evening, each lasting 30 minutes), if the heat will aggravate the pain can be combined with cold compresses, or cold compresses alone (lasting 15 minutes). 17.Local physical therapy (ultrashort wave, laser, infrared, etc.), the first course of treatment for 7-10 days, twice a day is better, each time 15 minutes. It is good for relieving pain and improving the degree of opening. 18.Work and rest on time and follow the trend. When it’s time to sleep, please be sure to sleep; when it’s time to go to school, please be sure to go to school; when it’s time to work, please be sure to work; when it’s time to relax, please be sure to relax. 19.Temporomandibular joint disease is a difficult disease, and the treatment time is long, generally the treatment cycle is more than three months to several years; the treatment is difficult, 15% of the patients will have repeated, ineffective, or even aggravated, please be sure to maintain a calm, optimistic and composed state of mind. 20, “facing the sea in spring”, must maintain a healthy, optimistic, tolerant, upward mentality, for work, life, family, treatment encountered in the bad and frustration, to “look far, light, look wide. Easy to be a person, happy to do!
