My Dr. wants me to see my dentist to have a guard fitted to wear at night to prevent grinding and gritting my teeth. >Becky M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2000 Report Share Posted April 5, 2000 OK gang-- add me to the TMJ list too!! I have had it for a number of years and although I don't think it is a part of CMT, I do think it comes from all the physical stress CMT puts on my body. BTW- I used to go to an oral surgeon ( I think he was anyways) and I had a mouth piece made for while I am sleeping. This helped a lot. BUT then my chiropractor started to work on it years later and WOW what a huge difference!! SOOOOOO much better and for such longer periods of time. I cannot sing the praises of my chiropractor enough for al my ailments!
