Home Remedies For Jaw Pain Relief

November 9, 2018 by Karishma

There are many bodily pains that we can experience throughout the course of our lives. Many pains are insidious in the sense that they may seem trivial at first but once in a while, that small pain that you ignore just because you’re able to, develops into something much more serious.

Jaw pains are just one of these seemingly trivial pains that may be a sign of something much more sinister. They are indications of a problem with the muscles of your jaw or with the parts of your mandible. They can be caused by a heavy blow, excessive pressure on the temporomandibular joint, arthritis, and sometimes even stress can cause jaw pain.

So, what are a few home remedies to relieve jaw pain?

Magnesium Rich Food For Jaw Pain

Foods that have high Magnesium content have been proven to help relax the muscles in the jaw. There are many foods that exhibit this property, such as dark chocolate, bananas, avocado, spinach, pumpkin seeds, and so many more. Adding these foods to your diet will help you with your jaw pains. The great thing about this home remedy is that all these foods are readily available in your local grocery store.

Soft Food For Relieving Pain

As previously mentioned, jaw pain can be caused by excessive pressure on the jaw joints. Now, if you do have jaw pain, it’s recommended to switch to eating soft foods for about a week in order to reduce the pressure and the force that act upon your jaw muscles. Soups, soft veggies, soft pasta, and scrambled eggs are all prime examples of this type of food.

Gentle Massage

If eating soft food is meant to reduce the pressure that acts upon the joints of your jaw, a gentle massage could also help your tense jaw muscles relax. Massage your jaw as well as your temples in a circular motion. Stretching your jaw slowly for 30 seconds every 4 hours is going to help restore circulation to your jaw muscles.

Hot and Cold Compress

Another home remedy for jaw pain comes in the form of either a hot or cold compress. The good thing about this is that if one doesn’t work, then you simply switch to the other. Applying either a warm of cold compress to your jaw, neck, and temples for 12 minutes will help your muscles relax. Warm application is going to help mitigate jaw stiffness and pain by facilitating the circulation of blood to the region. On the other hand, a cold application is going to help reduce the likelihood of muscle spasms.

So, When Should I See a Doctor / TMJ Expert?

As a general rule, if you experience severe and lingering pain, and you’re unable to completely open or close your jaw, then you need to consult with a TMJ Expert. It’s also important to know what exactly caused the pain to begin with. Surgery should be treated as a last resort and should only be performed by a qualified and licensed professional.
