Avoid doing things that might aggravate the temporomandibular joint or face muscles, such as chewing gum, clenching or grinding your teeth, or opening your mouth extra wide when you yawn. Applying ice packs or heat on the side of the face may offer some relief.
You may need surgery to repair damaged tissue in the joint. But most people don't need surgery for a TMJ disorder.....
