It depends on the severity of your symptoms and what is causing them. For mild TMJ discomfort, trying at-home remedies like applying ice or heat to the affected joint, practicing good posture, avoiding overly chewy or hard foods, and doing jaw exercises can often provide relief. However, if your symptoms are more severe or persistent, it's best to see Dr. Darren Greenhalgh and his team at Pacific Northwest Smiles of Mill Creek, WA, for an evaluation and potential treatment plan. Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional before trying any new medications or treatments for TMJ or other dental concerns.
