Living with TMJ symptoms is plainly and simply, painful. You will most likely wake up with  your jaw aching and possibly your teeth as well. You wmay catch yourself with your jaw clenched tight at times during the day when you’re at work or under any stress. Headaches, earaches and many other unpleasant symptoms of TMJ can follow if untreated. if you’re unsure of whether you have TMJ or maybe you’re unsure of what you can do about it, then read on.

What you should of course do is consult your doctor or dentist as quickly as possible. if your symptoms are minor, they may simply give you some anti-inflammatories and tell you to wait it out. sometimes this advice is sound and sometimes is isn’t. Most TMJ symptoms are caused by stress. When you’re stressed your body builds tension and all things being connected, your jaw is a hot spot for tension build up. Your muscles eventually become rigid and tight when this continues which can lead to jaw displacement. This is the cause of the pain that your feeling. if you are told to ‘wait it out’ and your body continues to build up tension, your jaw health will deteriorate. in severe cases you may develop lock jaw, where you literally cannot open your mouth because the ligaments and muscles are clamped tight.

Most of the time these TMJ symptoms are rare. You need to act on it and get rid of the pain and tension quickly, the longer you wait the more you risk. Luckily you can manage your jaw pain with some very simple exercises. there are exercises that have been developed especially for people wit TMJ and these can be very beneficial. Another very important thing that you should get into the habit of it relaxation. it doesn’t have to be very long, just 3-5 minutes of deep breathing with your eyes closed. This will release a lot of built up tension and allow your jaw to move smoothly and naturally.

I bit on a nut and a crown I had pushed way up and made me bleed. My eyes watered and since then I am all congested (mostly on that side. Is this due to a pierced sinus? who do I go to? I am seeing a guy for an crown implant but shoudl I see a different doctor for thsi sinus problem? Does it sound liek a hole?

I doubt that you pushed the tooth up into the sinus. the upper molars and premolars do, however, often project into the maxillary sinus, but there is usually a thin layer of bone, as well as the lining of the sinus. for you to have pierced the sinus, the entire tooth would have to be moveable not just side to side, but also up and down. If that's the case, that tooth needs to come out. I don't think the two are related, unless, like I said, that tooth can be moved up and down in the socket, so I would see an MD for the sinus problem, and your Dentist for the crown. Hope this helps

DID you know that a visit to the dentist could save your life? the Telegraph finds out more …

MANY of us may see a trip to the dentist as a chance to get a quick scale and polish, perhaps a filling or two, maybe even some light cosmetic work.

But according to a new nationwide survey, arguably their most important job goes unnoticed.

With mouth cancer rates increasing by more than 40 percent in the last decade, it has become one of the UK’s fastest growing cancers and it is up to our dentist to check for the early warning signs.

Yet, results from the survey reveal only 15 per cent of us believe the dentist to be checking our mouths for the early symptoms of a disease which kills someone every five hours in the UK.

Almost two-thirds of us didn’t know whether our dentist looks for any symptoms of mouth cancer during a routine check-up while the remaining quarter did not think they were being examined at all.

Peter, from northern Lincolnshire, was diagnosed with tongue cancer aged 59.

“It started with a sore spot on my tongue,” he said. “I just assumed I had bitten it and it would go away, but it didn’t.

“My doctor had a look and sent away for some blood tests, which did not reveal much.

“Luckily, I had a routine dental appointment coming up. my dentist was not very worried but referred me to hospital, where it was soon diagnosed as cancer.

“Thankfully it wasn’t advanced. all they did to diagnose it was take a tiny bit from my tongue, which didn’t hurt at all.

“The worst thing was the uncertainty. I ended up having most of the right side of my tongue taken out by laser.

“The thought is awful but it wasn’t nearly as bad as it sounds. At first I was bruised and swollen, and I had little control over it. I had to eat soft, even liquidised food, for a bit but I adjusted quickly. And my speech recovered in about three days.

“I’ve lost teeth after subsequent radiation sessions, and now I do without dentures because I find it better that way. I do have eating problems, but I’m just thankful I’m alive.

“A lesson from all of this is, if you have a mouth problem, consult your dentist as well as your doctor.”

The chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter, pictured, said: “During your routine dental check-up your dentist or hygienist performs a full examination of not only the teeth and gums, but the cheeks, tongue and floor of the mouth, too.

“They look for anything unusual in the mouth. With the number of new mouth cancer cases increasing greatly each year, everyone throughout the profession understands how important it is to check for any symptoms.”

“The importance of early detection speaks for itself – nine in 10 people survive mouth cancers that are caught early yet as most people are only diagnosed late in the disease, the five year survival rate remains as low as 50 per cent.”

The survey was carried out by the British Dental Health Foundation and quizzed more than 1,000 UK people.

It highlighted the importance of checking our mouths for any unusual red or white patches, unusual swellings in the mouth or neck or an ulcer that does not heal within three weeks.

All these are potentially signs of something being wrong and you should go along to your dentist or doctor.

Previously, the disease has been five times more common in men than women, however, recently, more women than ever are being diagnosed and it is now only twice as common in men as women.

Age is another factor, with people over the age of 40 more likely to be sufferers, though more young people are now being affected than previously.

Dr Carter added: “The main risk factor for mouth cancer is tobacco use, with alcohol the second most common and people who smoke and drink to excess are 30 times more likely to develop the disease.

Recently, HPV, the human papilloma virus, also responsible for cervical cancer, has also been discovered to be a cause. Spread by oral sex, over three-quarters of women will be affected at some time in their lives and as a result we are seeing more younger people affected.

“Next time you visit your dentist, ask about the disease, its symptoms and how to check for them at home – you might be surprised about how much knowledge you go away with.”

I have had anxiety before but never with these symptoms and I haven't had my wisdom teeth out but the dentist said I have four and I can get them taken out whenever it didn't seem like a big deal and I've never had that bad of allergies.

I've been waking up with my jaw hinge and upper jaw (maxilla) being sore sometimes lasting all day and sometimes it goes away and comes back. lately my throat has been tight as well. Whats up?

Have you slept differently at all? sometimes if I sleep wrong, it can hurt like that.
Almost sounds like tetanus, but not quite.
It can have a lot to do with nerves. Nerves cause a lot of weird pains.
Anxiety also can cause the tightness of the throat. I've had anxiety attacks (from caffeine, before I knew I was allergic xP) and at one point my mouth was numb and my jaw was super sore, and my throat felt really tight.

Since you mention anxiety it sounds like you're thinking perhaps it's just muscle tightness in your sleep. Perhaps accompanied by some teeth grinding. You may very well be right. if you have specific places that have sharp pain, however, it might be something else.

Regardless, chronic pain of any kind should be brought to your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

You are grinding and/or clenching your teeth while you sleep.

Check with your dentist about an NTI.

it could be your glands or if not your wisdom teeth but sometimes this could be a reaction to rabies have you been scratched or bitten by any kind of animal

maybe you grinding your teeth in your sleep? -could be especially if you stressed. Tight throat -sounds like you might be getting a cold/flu.

Sounds like you probably grind your teeth in your sleep.

grinding your teeth at night in your sleep?

You're getting mouth raped at night

swine flu, joke i dnt know

I've been a heavy smoker for nearly ten years (I've since quit, but my throat hasn't). I've been a heavy drinker for most of that time too (and since quit). I'm 27, and terrified that I may have throat cancer. It's just constantly sore. I even wake during the night with the pain sometimes. Please help, I don't know what to do. I've been to see the doctor but he was useless, he simply perscribed patches to get me away from the smokes. It's been like this for well over a year now.

First of all I am so glad you stopped smoking. Congrats. Sounds like it is time to change drs. You are still young and I hope that you don't have cancer. I had a cousin that had it and he now talks with a machine to his neck. He worked in a casino around smoke for yrs. I hope you give up drinking too. Gl with your health.

I have a friend who has had the same sypthoms that you are experienceing and he went to the doctor and they reccommend that he see a dentist. He did go and they told him to not drink or smoke anymore and it would reduce the chances of him developing cancer of the mouth. it has been a long going process. So my advice to you is make a appointment with you dentist and see what he/she may have to say. The out come of my friends illness is questionable to wether or not it will ever be good. He also drank and smoked for years. I wish you the best of luck but make that appointment please.

first of all congrats at giving up smoking, there quite a few symptoms related to throat cancer here are a few,

a persistant sore throat
lumps on the neck
hoarseness in the voice
mouth sores that wont heal
difficulty in swallowing
unexplained bleeding in the mouth
weight loss
there are also lots of web site u can look up relating to this problem although a visit to your doctor will put your mind more at rest if you have got cancer the earlier you get treatmant the better the cure good luck

I don't really know the exact symptoms of throat cancer as they differ from person to person, but I do know the Homeopathic Remedies which can cure it !
1.ARSENICUM ALBUM 200. 3 drops in a sip of water once a day.
2.PHOSPHORUS 30. 3 drops in a sip of water three times a day.always take these medicines on an empty stomach meaning at least 30 minutes after or before meals and avoid chocolates coffee mints and red meat while you are taking Homeopathic Medicines !
God Bless you and take care

go to another dr . get a 2nd opinion straight way. this sounds serious

I agree that getting a second opinion is VITAL! Many people with this type of symptoms experience sore throat and hoarseness. Those are the most common symptoms. Other symptoms include an earache, swelling of the neck, spitting up blood and a bad cough.

Please see another doctor. Don't let a bad experience with one doctor affect your health.

I just wanted to know what the symptoms of cellulitis of the mouth or oral cellulitis – I've tried looking it up but can't find a descripton.

inflammation under the skin that's caused by infection

Cellulitis is inflammation of the cells and is most often times caused by irritation to the tissues in the mouth (this could be the buccal area or inside the cheek, tongue or soft palate). Rinsing with one part Maalox and one part peroxide will help. In the meantime, apply OraGel to alleviate the pain until it is gone. also avoid hot and spicy foods as they will only aggravate it further and take longer to heal. You also need to see your dentist to confirm your conclusion of cellulitis. I have to wonder where you came up with that diagnosis. See your dentist and play it safe!

Like any gum problem, trench mouth begins from small problem. Due to its mild signs, it may be hard to notice the early signs of trench mouth. Trench mouth is a known term for a another level and painful form of gum infection. these is also called as Vincent’s stoma***is, or necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) trench mouth got its name from World War I soldiers who spent long periods of time in the trenches with insufficient of proper dental care. Individuals who are infected of trench mouth have been lack right dental care for a longer period of time and it is most known today in third countries. Fortunately trench mouth can be treated easily with the proper tools and medications. Primary trench mouth symptoms include: q Pain is not always occurs with many other kinds of gum problem. once you are having any form of gum or tooth pain consult your dental professional as soon as possible to examined the cause. q Bleeding gums with even the lightest pressure. Bleeding gums is frequent a first sign of early gum disorder. your gums should not “just bleed.” If your gums are bleeding, especially with regular brushing and flossing see your dentist. q Gray film on the teeth. a gray film may commonly wrap the teeth of trench mouth patient. this gray film develops as the infection begins to kill the gum tissues and the dead cells coat the inside of the mouth. q Sores on the gums and between the teeth. these sores or ulcers can be very painful and infection from them or may drain liquid matter. You may notice a bad taste in your mouth and have bad breath as a result of the infection q Fever. Fever is our body’s purpose of removing the infection. When you have a fever accompanied with any of the above symptoms consult your doctor or dentist.

My boyfriend has ben getting TMJ (lockjaw) along with severe chest and lung pain with a fever, stomach pains, and constant headaches after leaving the dentist. he only gets these symptoms after visiting this health clinic and the third time he had to be taken to the hospital only 2days after his appointment because he could barley breath and could not open his mouth. Im worried they are using dirty needles or mercury fillings. My boyfriend believes he is allergic to Novocaine but the dentist told him that it was impossible. I have an appointment at this place for the first time in an hour. If i were to get sick to is there something i could do about it? and is it possible to be allergic to Novocaine? or is this kind of thing normal?

Yes, you can be allergic to Novocaine, so it is possible that your boyfriend is allergic. If it happens to you to, talk to your doctor and/or you may want to reconsider switching dentists if your doctor tells you that you are not allergic to Novocaine. Hope I helped!:)

If you want to make sure that the dentist is not using dirty needles, then let him place the needle infront of you.Actually there is no guarantee about the needles especially that they don't come wrapped.He just picks up one out of a box.Anyway needles go blunt in 2 or 3 times,there is little chance he 'd be using dirty needles.

TMJ Toronto Symptoms – Lock Jaw

Lock Jaw is one of the very common symptoms of TMJ Toronto area pain sufferers face. it is also an early sign of a disorder of the TMJ Toronto dentist Dr. Goodfellow says. He has successfully treated over 650 patients for TMJ syndrome.

A problem with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is degenerative. this means the root cause of the problem usually gets worse over time. So, it is wise to get proper TMJ treatment of the neuromuscular and structural cause of the problem as soon as possible before the condition gets worse and chronic pain sets in.

With lock jaw, the lower jaw often seems like it is catching when the mouth is being opened. some people with this symptom need to open their jaw wide until it unlocks. others find that moving the jaw to one side or the other will release the locking jaw.

The cause of lock jaw can be because of a bad bite or misaligned jaw.

It may also be due to clenching of the teeth. this is often not realized since it occurs during sleep.

In either case, the muscles and ligaments that have become tight need to regain their relaxed and normal position. no amount of medication can repair the misalignment. Pain medications only mask the pain for a short while and may cause side effects.

Neuromuscular Dentistry practiced by a TMJ Toronto area dentist such as Dr. Goodfellow provides proper treatment of the source of a lock jaw problem.
