TMJ Relief?
Answers:
If you grind your teeth on a regular basis, getting a bite plate for when you sleep is very helpful. I had one all through high school, and it really helped.
In college and later, I stopped the grinding but my TMJ still acted up. I avoid foods that involve repetitive chewing (gum, taffy, very tough steak). Some days I may take ibuprofen, which really helps the pain. Eating apples by cutting them up instead of taking a big bite (puts a strain on the jaw) helps as well.
If it's still pretty serious, it's worth it to talk to your dentist to find out other options. For serious TMJ, there are surgery options available. Good luck! Hope you feel better soon.
