Don't chew gum or hard candies. Seriously.
Also find out if your insurance will cover physical therapy. I was on Medicaid and it was covered. I had massage and acupuncture and it was helpful.
Get a night guard if you grind or clench your teeth in your sleep.
Practice relaxing your jaw and neck.
Be extra conscious of your mouth!! A lot of people clench naturally without realizing it and that can cause harm. When you catch yourself doing that try to keep your teeth from touching while still feeling natural! I hope this helps
