First of all, to swallow our saliva, an action that takes place more than 1,000 times a day and up to 2,000 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, to eat: to cut the food, then to grind it, or to speak or emit any sound. We force this joint when we yawn, laugh, or on the contrary when we are stressed or angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is therefore essential and pain caused by osteoarthritis quickly becomes disabling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_origins_of_osteoarthritis_of_the_jaw\"><\/span>The origins of osteoarthritis of the jaw<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Osteoarthritis, regardless of the joint it affects, alters the cartilage that allows the two parts of the joint to slide together. It usually develops with age, although it can affect people who are quite young. It is often <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" title=\"genetic\" href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/oral-health-genetics\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">genetic<\/a>, so it's worth looking into if you have cases in your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Osteoarthritis is also the result of repeated trauma<\/strong>. These may be faulty behaviors (such as bruxism). It can also be the consequence of dental problems that have caused a malocclusion and the offset of one jaw from the other, which has worn away the cartilage unevenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, trauma can be caused by recurrent shocks, for example in sports. It can be boxing or rugby where violent contact is frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_symptoms_of_osteoarthritis_of_the_jaw\"><\/span>The symptoms of osteoarthritis of the jaw<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The earlier you detect osteoarthritis, the more you can intervene to slow its progression.

He will certainly redirect you to a specialist. He can prescribe painkillers and massage or manipulation by an osteopath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to long-term treatment, you need to relieve your temporomandibular joint. This means a diet of foods that are soft enough not to put too much strain on your joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also complement your treatment with massages with essential oils that provide relief, including Wintergreen essential oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phytotherapy also gives good results, with harpagophytum (from the sesame family) in herbal tea or capsules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you can take dietary supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin which <strong>have a beneficial effect on the production of synovial fluid that lubricates the joints<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, you must resign yourself to long-term treatment, so that you never let osteoarthritis gain too much ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>We recommend the following supplement: <a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/arthropure\">Arthropure by Nutripure<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/arthropure\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot-2020-10-06-at-12.37.59-150x150.png\" alt=\"product against jaw pain\" class=\"wp-image-6566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot-2020-10-06-at-12.37.59-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot-2020-10-06-at-12.37.59.png 434w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">&#8221; Fights against collagen and cartilage aging<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">&#8220;Optimal absorption thanks to the presence of vitamin C<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">&#8220;Allows the regeneration of cartilage tissue<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">&#8220;Pure, natural and patented ingredients<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For more information<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/jaw-pain\/\">How to avoid jaw pain?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/?page_id=17791\">SADAM syndrome<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/aligners\/\">Guide to the dental splint<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/chipped-tooth-repair\/\">Broken tooth: how to treat and care for it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/removable-dentures\/\">Removable dental prosthesis<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/orthodontics\/braces\/\">Complete Guide to Adult Braces<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/lingual-braces\/\">Lingual braces<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/night-braces\/\">Night braces<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/colored-braces\/\">Colored braces<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/inlay-core\/\">The Inlay Core<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/bruxism\/mouthguard\/\">Comparison of anti bruxism trays<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-data before-content\"><div class=\"article-data__date\"><div class=\"article-data__date-modified\"><time class=\"published\" datetime=\"2022-11-01T11:44:06+00:00\">This article was originally published on&nbsp;<span class=\"2\">November 1, 2022<\/span>&nbsp;and was most recently updated on&nbsp;<span>November 1, 2022<\/span><\/time><br><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"user-info\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated:&nbsp;November 1, 2022 Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that manifests itself through the degradation of cartilage in the joints.
