What Is The Cure For Pain In The Jaw Except For Moist Heat And Pain Pills?
I was diagnosed by my dentist with tmj/mpd. I want to know what else I can do for my pain in my jaw except for moist heat and pain pills. It started a month ago from sleeping with a mouth piece for snoring. Now I can't eat or sleep and I want to know when it will stop.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that you have TMD here are some remedies which will help you
1-you should start with some muscle relaxant 2 times daily.
2-you should avoid wide opening of jaw and biting any hard substance from front teeth.
3-apply diclofinac gels from outside on joint on both side
Hope this will help you.
Regards
