What Causes Jaw Joint Pain When you wake in the morning
Bruxism is a condition that involves the clenching and grinding of teeth. Just like snoring, the offending person usually is unaware but can be very disturbing to their partner or spouse. The grinding of teeth can annoyingly loud or in some cases silent with no trace of “Bruxing”. In these cases, the dentist may be the only one that can tell you are grinding your teeth which in turn causes your jaw pain. Jaw issues from teeth grinding can occur at any age. Because of the constant pressure, this can lead to more serious issues with the jaw, mouth and teeth. If it goes unchecked, the result could lead to TMJ or Temporomandibular joint (the joint that connects your jaw to the skull) issues. If you are suffering from constant earaches, toothaches or jaw pain, it could very well be due to teeth grinding during the night. There are mouth guards that can be worn to separate the teeth to protect them from damage. If stress is a factor, a good diet and exercise regimen is typically where people need to start to focus. In times of overwhelming activities, deadlines and commitments, the diet and time taken to follow a basic exercise program is difficult to maintain. Meditation is another option that can be pursued and is not necessarily about being one with universe. It is about aligning your mind body and soul together to become more relaxed and at peace with your surroundings. Finding a few minutes out of each day will help your mind become more at ease and stress-free. Yoga is a great program to start with to assist in learning to meditate and relax. To begin the process, you will need to find a place that has minimal distractions and noise levels. A room, a park or even your car may offer the desired environment to allow your senses to become less stimulated. Allow 5-10 minutes for each session. As you progress, the cycles may last a bit longer, but you will find that the more your sessions develop, the more refreshed and focused you will become. In summary, jaw joint pain can be more serious if you do not pay attention to the signs and deal with the underlying stress issues. If you believe you grind your teeth, your dentist can provide more insight and recommend a course of treatment. |

| Joint aches and pain are common for many adults, especially older men and women over 40 years of age. One common ailment that affects people in this category is tennis elbow. Even though tennis elbow is a common joint pain, it is not usually associated with playing tennis, but any activity associated with using the arm and wrist in a repetitive motion like hammering nails. 3 Steps to long term Health and Wellness Health and wellness is not a quick walk around the track after a stop at your local burger joint. It is a long term plan and strategy that you define and execute consistently. Sensible eating and moderate exercise are the true combination to assist in losing weight and becoming more fit and healthy. So, if now is the time to pick up a new lease in life, increase your stamina and decrease your level of fat and sugar intake, then by all means look to develop a plan around your goals and objectives. Here are 3 steps to get started: 1. Before starting any new program, get a physical and discuss your desire with your doctor. They will give you guidance and point you in the right direction based on the results of your physical and long term goals. Ask about recommendations around nutrition, and your current physical state to determine if the activities you might enjoy are feasible.2. Before you decide to change your eating habits, document all the foods you eat over a week or two. This will help you set a baseline of your current dietary habits and choices. Once you see what you have been consuming, determine the areas you might want to address first, like sugar or fat intake. 3. Develop a plan around the type of food and exercise choices you are willing to make initially. Keep it simple and reasonable in the type of change you are willing to make in the beginning. If you start to make small changes with gradual adjustments, you are more likely to stick with your program. If you try to make drastic changes all at once, your willingness to continue will be less successful because you will feel that it is too difficult and abandon your plan.
