Trismus: Causes & Prevention
Causes of Trismus:
The most common cause is inflammation or injury to the muscles in the jaw, which can happen due to dental procedures or trauma. Other causes may include infections, tumors, or neurological conditions such as tetanus or Bell’s palsy.
Prevention of Trismus:
One of the best ways to prevent Trismus is to maintain good oral health. This includes regular brushing and flossing to keep your teeth and gums healthy. It is also important to visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
During dental procedures, your dentist may use tools that can cause trauma to the jaw muscles. To prevent this, your dentist may recommend jaw exercises before and after the procedure to keep your jaw muscles relaxed.
It is also important to avoid habits like excessive gum chewing or clenching your teeth, as these can strain and damage your jaw muscles. If you play sports, consider wearing a mouthguard to protect your jaw from any potential injuries.
In some cases, Trismus can also occur as a side effect of certain medications. If you are experiencing difficulty opening your mouth while taking medication, consult your doctor to see if there are alternative treatments that may not have this side effect.
If you do experience Trismus, there are some simple exercises you can do at home to help improve jaw mobility. Gently massage the muscles around your jaw with your fingers and then slowly open and close your mouth. This can help loosen up the muscles and improve your range of motion. However, it is important to consult your doctor or dentist before trying any exercises, as they may suggest specific ones for your condition.
