Sleep Disorder Dentists
Temporomandibular disorder or something else?
The last few nights, I slept like crap and had really messed up dreams. I awake like every 2 hours and I've been really thirsty lately … I cringe really bad, I even had my dentist adjusted my bite. My question is … Recently, I opened my mouth to eat and my jaw feels like to jump right on my head and it makes noises horrible. I did not even want to eat in front of someone. I guess I never noticed before, but my mother gave me some strawberries and I eat and she told me I sounded horrible. Also, I had a sharp pain above my left temple as well. Is this the TMD or not? Help. I need a solution … serious answers only. thank you.
Yes, that TMD. When the bones rub it hurts and pinched nerves. You will most likely a device to help bite w / before it gets worse and requires surgery. You should see a specialist of the MTA. They will make you a plate or occlusal mouthguard to wear. However, if you do not wear protection at night you should already be in b / c of the grind. Go get one and try this first. They are no longer those cons about flossing in general.
