What is jaw osteoarthritis? How to treat it?

The mandible, which is the area between the chin and the gums, is an important part of the face. Mandibular osteoarthritis is caused by jaw injury, incorrect chewing method and other reasons. Once the disease occurs, it will have a great impact on the patient, especially the patient's facial image. Mandibular osteoarthritis must be treated promptly and must not be delayed, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of treatment!

1. Overview

The mandible is located in the face where the chin and gums meet. Generally speaking, the mandible is not easily injured or inflamed. If mandibular arthritis occurs, patients need to consider the cause of their illness and actively eliminate it. The causes of mandibular osteoarthritis include long-term trauma to the jaw, dislocation, and unhealthy chewing methods. Therefore, the treatment of mandibular osteoarthritis requires timely and accurate treatment, especially on the face, which has a great impact on the patient's image.

2. Causes

1 The cause of mandibular osteoarthritis is first of all joint dislocation and pain, which is caused by external stimulation and is closely related to the patient's life and eating habits. If the jaw has been injured, the chance of suffering from mandibular osteoarthritis is very high.

2 The occurrence of mandibular osteoarthritis is also related to the patient's unhealthy chewing habits. Some patients chew food too hard and do not pay attention to brushing their teeth, which causes long-term inflammation of the gums, causing local gum pain in the patient and an inflammatory reaction in the mandible.

3. The cause of mandibular osteoarthritis is also related to the patient's sleeping position. Sleeping in one direction for a long time will cause numbness on one side of the mandible. In the long run, it will cause an imbalance in the function of the mandibular masseter muscle. Therefore, unilateral mandibular osteoarthritis will also affect the patient's image.

3. Notes

The mandible is one of the important bones in our face and supports the entire face. Therefore, arthritis of the mandible will have a serious impact on the patient's facial image and diet.
