Recently, on a variety show, a male star dislocated his jaw because he laughed too hard during a game. He was sent directly to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed it as a temporomandibular joint disorder. Later, the star posted on Weibo that he could finally open his mouth. There are many people who have the same experience in life. In life, we often say to people who laugh so hard that their jaws drop, "Be careful not to laugh so hard that your jaws drop." But did you know that "laughing so hard that your jaws drop" is not just a joke? When the patient Xiao Wang was laughing so hard that his jaws dropped, he covered his mouth and stammered, unable to speak. Patient Xiao Wang: "I can't open my mouth, and it can only be opened very small. It's very painful, sore and swollen, which affects my normal life. I didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it would be fine in a few days, but it's been a long time, and it's still not working." "Losing jaw" is medically known as "temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome", which is one of the common diseases of the oral and maxillofacial region. The specific symptoms are joint pain, snapping sound when opening the mouth, and the functions of opening the mouth, chewing, and speaking are greatly affected. What's worse, you may feel dizzy, have a headache, and even have some tinnitus. Temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome is common in young people and has a high incidence and recurrence rate. Some potential predisposing factors can cause dislocation of the temporomandibular joint. Doctors remind: Some patients yawn suddenly in the morning and open their mouths too wide, or bite hard objects or eat nuts; some patients have a history of traumatic impact, such as violent impact; some patients have cervical spondylosis, or mental and psychological factors, which can suddenly cause them to be unable to open their mouths. How to prevent temporomandibular joint disorder? 01Relax It is important to relax your mind. If you are in a state of tension and anxiety for a long time, you will be more likely to experience related symptoms. 02Maintain correct posture In life, we should maintain the correct posture, avoid abnormal jaw joints, and avoid holding the chin frequently. We should avoid excessive mouth opening and use of chewing muscles, such as paying attention to the degree of mouth opening when laughing or yawning, and reduce chewing of hard food. 03Change bad habits Do not chew on one side for a long time; poor sleep can easily lead to clenching of the teeth. If you wake up in the morning and find that your mouth is a little difficult to open, be sure not to force it open. Clinically, temporomandibular joint disorders are mainly treated with comprehensive treatment and conservative treatment. Most patients can get effective relief, and only a small number of patients finally need surgical intervention. Some patients' symptoms can heal themselves. Usually, they should keep a calm mind and take good precautions. At the same time, if they find discomfort, they should seek medical treatment as soon as possible to achieve early detection and early treatment. |
