Jaw Osteoarthritis: Symptoms, Risk Factors, and Prevention

Sometimes, the joints in your jaw can get arthritis, just like in your knees.

This happens when the cushion in the joint wears down.

You might feel pain, stiffness, or hear clicking sounds.

People at risk are older, have had jaw injuries, or grind their teeth.

To help, you can keep a healthy weight and protect your jaw.

Things like warm compresses, softer foods, and gentle exercises can provide relief.
