Answers:
First, focus on your posture!. A slouched posture puts the jaw intro a strained position, over time, can lead to pain (as well as the pain in your neck/shoulders)!.
Until you see the PT, stick with soft foods and rub your TMJ area with an ice cube for five minutes when it is inflammed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
