Guest guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 -Hello, I also have the tmj. My dentist asked me if my jaws ever lock. So far I dont have that problem and have minimal pain. I have the jaw popping but not the teeth grinding. I have heard about the jaw breaking and resetting. Forget that! I am terrified just to get my wisdom teeth out. My teeth are crowded and dentist suggested just going ahead and getting them all out at once. He also said that a few came up wrong and would probably get cavities in them. I have him convinced he is going to fill them if this happens. I cant imagine putting so much money in my mouth due to no dental insurance. -- In @y..., Allicia21@a... wrote: > In a message dated 08/31/2002 7:44:39 AM US Eastern Standard Time, > catstamp@p... writes: > > > > please consider going to a maxiofacial surgeon > > Yeah I went to a surgeon as well...and thats who told me if the guard doesn't > help that they would have to break my jaw and reset it and wire my mouth > shut....I still think him and my mom has a consipiracy going on...I think she > is pay'n him to wire my mouth shut for 3 months....lmaoo > I've decided that I'm just gonna live with the popping for now the surgery is > like 5,000.00....that I don't have...so I'm just gonna live with it. > Allicia > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
