I am a 30 year old male and I have TMJ. What is better for TMJ ice or heat?

The preferred treatment for active TMJ inflammation pain is ice. We usually suggest 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off until the area feels better.. You can use heat during the non-inflammatory times as a therapeutic.
Usually heat, but that depends mostly on what has caused the syndrome. A dentist that diagnoses your condition is best to determine what therapy to use.
