When Should You Consult a Specialist?

If your jaws are sensitive, there is pain that doesn’t go away, or if you can’t fully open your jaws, you should see a doctor who can diagnose these problems. Your doctor will tell you about all the possible causes and treatments for your problems.

Some preliminary tests can be used together with clinical examination to diagnose jaw joint disorders.

Treatment Options:

The following treatment options can be considered to treat the problem:

Mouthguards:

People can feel pain relief by wearing soft or firm devices inserted over their teeth which are known as mouthguards.

Jaw Exercise:

Exercise can help jaw movements return to normal by providing flexibility and strengthening the muscles. It is done when there is no acute pain.

Counselling:

A proper daily routine should be established to deal with the factors and behaviours that may worsen the pain. Some bad habits like nail-biting, grinding, or leaning on the chin must be avoided.

Arthrocentesis:

It is a commonly performed medical procedure to diagnose and treat certain joint diseases. The process is usually performed to reduce pain by removing inflammatory mediators from the joint cavity and to increase mandibular mobility by removing intra-articular adhesions.

Arthroscopy:

It is a minimally invasive instrumental method of diagnosis and treatment. Penetrating the joint, the surgeon examines its cavity, delivers medicines, and performs surgical procedures.

Open-Joint Surgery:

It is needed in the group of patients who do not benefit from all these treatments, who now have very severe pain and whose mouth opening has decreased to 1-2 centimeters.

In this case, most of the time, the articular cartilage is removed, and a silicone or autogenous material from the person’s own tissue is placed in its place.

Sometimes, excision from the jawbone and removal of the deformed part of the lower jaw that forms the jaw joint by cutting may be required. However, we consider surgery the last resort and follow more conservatively non-surgical procedures.
