How long does it take to apply heat to temporomandibular joint disorder?

Patients with temporomandibular joint disorders can improve their symptoms by applying localized hot compresses, which may take about 1~2 weeks to gradually improve, and the recovery time may vary from patient to patient. In addition to the hot compress treatment, patients also need to pay attention to let the temporomandibular joint rest more, less activity, as little as possible in the near future to talk, pay attention to the soft diet, to avoid too much open mouth and chewing movement. If the joint pain symptoms are more intense, you can also take some oral anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen capsules and so on.
