Update: Was Child pressing against lower jaw

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Again thanks for all your responses to my question. Turns out that

my daughter does have a cavity. The responses regarding TMJ and low

zinc are possible issues as well. When I gave her one of her night

time DMSA doses I heard her grinding her little teeth. I did

increase her zinc and that did provide some relief from the jaw

pain, but it also awakened her taste buds. It is now a struggle

getting her to take some of her supplements which she used gulp down

without a problem. LOL! She is definitely deficient.

All the best,

Orelindel
