What to do if your jaw is often dislocated

When the human body dislocates the jaw for the first time, it is very easy to fix it, but if it dislocates too many times, it is easy to become a habitual dislocation. Some patients will have dislocations if they sit for a long time or do slightly larger exercises, etc., which will seriously affect the patient's life. Let's take a look at what to do if the jaw is often dislocated?

First, what should you do if your jaw is frequently dislocated? It is recommended that you go to the orthopedic department of the hospital in time for a dislocated jaw, take an X-ray, and perform manual dislocation after a clear diagnosis. After a successful reduction, the lower jaw should be fixed for three weeks. During this period, the mouth should not be opened more than one centimeter, and liquids should be sucked with a straw when eating. It takes three weeks for the damage to the temporomandibular joint capsule and surrounding ligaments to repair after dislocation. If not fixed, it is easy to cause habitual dislocation in the later stage.

Second, jaw dislocation is a type of temporomandibular joint disease. Most patients are middle-aged and elderly women, which can cause muscle or ligament strain, hence the saying "laughing your jaw off." A good way to treat a dislocated jaw: 1. After a dislocated jaw, you can treat it by brushing your teeth while moving your mouth. Generally, the stiff muscles will automatically shrink after coming into contact with toothpaste and will recover in about 3 minutes. 2. To push the joint back to its original position: put your two thumbs into your mouth, pull outwards, and then push outwards and upwards. 3. The cause of jaw dislocation may be calcium deficiency and lack of collagen, so it is recommended to supplement protein powder, vitamin C and calcium tablets on a regular basis. 4. Steam the white ginseng and take it several times a day. In addition, you should massage it regularly and supplement calcium.

Third, doctors often use manual reduction: the patient sits on an operating chair or a reclining chair with his head fixed, the operator stands in front of the patient, with his elbows at the same height as the patient's mandibular teeth, both arms almost straight, the thumb wrapped in gauze inserted into the patient's mouth and placed on the mandibular molars (commonly known as molars), the other four fingers hold the body of the mandible (chin), the thumb gradually presses the mandible downward, while the thumb presses down, the other four fingers simultaneously apply force to slowly rotate the chin (chin area) forward and push the mandible backward into the joint recess, at this time you can often hear a bouncing sound as the joint is reduced. After surgery, the thumb must be quickly moved toward the cheek at the moment of joint reduction to prevent the finger from being bitten. Patients themselves can also act according to the law.

What should you do if your jaw is often dislocated? To avoid this situation, you must take preventive measures. Prevention mainly includes keeping warm, not chewing on one side, and reducing laughing and opening your mouth wide. Can be combined with acupuncture treatment. Do more joint massage.
