Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hi , I used to have TMJ many years ago. I finally figured out that chewing gum wasn't helping the situation so I stopped chewing gum and voila, the problem got much better. I only very rarely feel it now. I hope you find relief soon.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 , could that be TMJ? Temporal Mandibular Joint malfunction, or something like that? I think it can happen due to bruxing, (sp) is that not what grinding teeth means?? My daughter had it a while back.
