Jaw clicking or popping: Audible sounds or sensations when opening or closing the mouth. Jaw deviation: The jaw may shift to one side when opening or closing, causing an uneven movement. Difficulty chewing or biting: Problems with biting or chewing hard or tough foods. Facial discomfort or fatigue: Tiredness or discomfort in the face, particularly after prolonged or excessive jaw movements. Ear symptoms: Earache, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), or a feeling of fullness in the ears. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is recommended to consult with a dentist or a healthcare professional with expertise in TMJ disorders.

Alternatively, you can try applying a warm compress or taking warm showers to relax the jaw muscles. Gentle jaw exercises: Once your healthcare provider gives you the go-ahead, you can perform gentle jaw exercises to improve range of motion and strengthen the muscles around the joint. Examples include slow, controlled jaw opening and closing, and side-to-side movements. Soft diet: Stick to a soft or liquid diet to minimize the strain on your jaw joint. Include foods that are easy to chew and won't require excessive jaw movement. Avoid extreme jaw movements: Avoid activities that involve wide opening of the mouth, such as yelling, singing loudly, or excessive yawning. These movements can strain the jaw joint and increase the risk of subluxation. Stress management: Stress and tension can contribute to jaw clenching and teeth grinding, which can worsen TMJ subluxation. Explore stress management techniques like relaxation exercises, meditation, or engaging in activities that help you unwind.
