The doctor would first recommend conservative and non-surgical treatments to treat the issue and its symptoms. A series of home remedies may also be used to treat TMJ effectively at home and provide relief from its symptoms. Some of the common home remedies recommended for temporomandibular joint treatment in Delhi include: • Heat and Cold Packs: Applying a heat/cold pack to the area near the jaw muscles for about 5 minutes after a mild stretching exercise can alleviate the pain related to TMJ. • Soft Foods: It is important to avoid hard biting and chewing foods such as chewing gum as well as crunchy items. Foods that are easier to bite are recommended for individuals with TMJ syndrome. • Using Night Guards: It is recommended that individuals with TMJ syndrome wear night guards to avoid the lower and upper teeth coming together and causing issues like grinding and clenching. Night guards also help to place the teeth in the optimal position to correct the bite.
