If the chewing muscles feel stiff and painful

In your daily life,

you should check whether you are clenching your teeth tightly.

Especially if you clench your teeth while sleeping,

even after getting plenty of sleep, you may not feel refreshed,

and you often have to wake up in the morning

with shoulder and neck stiffness, as well as headaches.

For most people, it feels bearable~,

and because it does not happen every day,

it can feel awkward to get treatment, and yet leaving it alone

can also be worrying, I think.

If you have similar symptoms,

I recommend that you be sure to get treatment at a nearby dental clinic. Also, for students preparing for exams near Jungdae Station and office workers in professional jobs who need to stay seated at a desk for long periods

and concentrate in the same posture,

there are quite a few cases where, while being immersed in work or study,

you unknowingly clench your molars tightly.

I also, when reading books or studying my major,

or while concentrating on dental treatment,

unconsciously clench my teeth tightly..

In such cases, fatigue accumulates during daily life,

and by evening the headaches become severe,

which can interfere with everyday activities.

It feels uncomfortable to keep taking painkillers or headache medicine every time,

and sometimes your stomach also feels upset and you feel nauseous,

but if you leave those symptoms untreated,

they can develop into chronic pain.

For the neck and shoulders, of course,

it is also very important to 'relax' the jaw muscles in everyday life.

However, while sleeping,

a habit of clenching your teeth or grinding them

is not something we can control on our own.

Also, clenching your teeth while concentrating is

something we cannot always control every time.

That is why you need help from a specialist.

If you visit a dental clinic for TMJ pain,

with medication injections and physical therapy,

you can relax the muscles and reduce inflammation,

and help the muscles and joints recover naturally.
