If you push firmly rearward on the chin with your hand while slowly opening and closing the jaw it can help. Do it every morning as a kind of exercise. It was taught to me by a dentist and has seemed to help over the years.

Can extractions of teeth cause TMJ?

TMJ, or more accurately, TMD syndrome, is pain or pathology associated with the muscles, nerves, or bones of the temporal mandibular joint. Unless the dental infection has actually spread to the joint, it is not truly TMJ. On the other hand, dental pain can radiate to the TMJ, making it feel like there is a problem with the joint. Once the dental infection is cleared up, the TMJ pain should go away. It is best to have a qualified dentist or oral surgeon examine and evaluate the problem.
