Q.
I have had TMD for what I would consider pretty bad for the past two months now. It not only hurts my jaw but can also make my neck and shoulders ache and gives me really irritating headaches. Is this somwething that is able to go awaty on its own or is there any special kind of treatment to help with it?

A.
Managing the crisis of TMD can be daunting. Medications can aid by reducing the tension in the musculature. TMD appliances can be made to help this situation. A night guard appliance can often help by countering the forces of grinding. This translates into less muscular tension and thereby can diminish headache tendencies.
