[United States, May 27, 2016] – The Jaw Health Resource is a one-stop information portal for all data regarding TMDs—causes, treatments, indications, precautions, and overall prevention.

[b]A Preview Of NSAIDs[/b]

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAIDs) are among the more common medications for jaw pain and inflammation caused by TMDs (temporomandibular disorders). The Jaw Health Resource, an information portal on this subject, cites a few common examples like Ibuprofen and naproxen.

These prescription work best when administered regularly for a 2 to 4-week period with a gradual taper. On the other hand, they don’t work as well when used on an as-needed basis. Patients with severe, acute pain should use these prescription sparingly to mitigate the risks.

[b]Notable Examples[/b]

The Jaw Health Resource includes a few recognizable names on its list of known NSAIDs. These include Tylenol, which contains Acetaminophen. Though patients must know that Acetaminophen doesn’t really address inflammation as the NSAID name implies—it only temporarily reduces jaw pain.

In addition, salicylates, aspirin, and celecoxib are also included. These prescription, alongside ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and naproxen, possess diverse structures and are distinct from other anti-inflammatory substances similar to cortisol, cortisone, prednisone, and dexamethasone. This category is meant to ease major symptoms like pain, stiffness, swelling, and inflammation.

[b]Indications[/b]

The Jaw Health Resource maintains that the prescription mentioned above (NSAIDs) are meant for joint inflammation, pain, and mild fever. Disc dislocation in its acute phase, as well as both acute and mild pain tied to jaw movements can also benefit. Patients who are not indicated for surgery can benefit as well, provided that short- and long-term pharmacological management is maintained.

[b]What to Watch Out For[/b]

The Jaw Health Resource warns about specific side-effects. These include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding, constipation, and gastric ulcers. With overuse, intolerance and hypersensitivity can result and shall be heralded by rashes, stuffy nose, and shock.
