It's a wonderful world we live in, yet the excitement and challenges of even the best things in life can create tension. Teeth clenching and grinding are common symptoms of stress which, over time, can escalate into Temperomandibular Disorder (TMD), a painful problem of the jaw joints. Of course, we can provide relief with oral appliance therapy, and it's good to have a strategy for self-care to help keep you at ease long-term.
Martial arts for relaxation? Absolutely! Aikido, Tai Chi and Qi Gong combine meditation and movement to improve posture, balance, coordination, endurance and flexibility.
Yoga is popular, very do-able and doesn't require special equipment.
Proper breathing, exercise, relaxation, diet, positive thinking and meditation are tried and true. TMD is all about taking the pressure off!
If you or a loved one are experiencing pain from TMD, we can help. Contact our office today at (860) 828-3933 or contact@AdvancedDental.com and we'll arrange an appointment to help ease the pain.
