Re: clenching jaw side effect?

[Guest guest]

Are you saying this is a major side effect that you have noticed?

I have been wearing a night guard for many years now, because my dentist noted that my teeth showed some signs of wear. I still have some tension in my jaw, the right side. I have been dealing with this tension/pain for at least 1 year now. It pops once in a while, stress seems to bring the popping on and it makes a loud sound in my ear!

I recently saw a specialist for TMJ dysfunction. I could do PT, but the Dr also said that I should try to take it easy and chew less solid foods, nothing hard.

I am sure most if not all of us on this site have some kind of stress in their life. I know I have financial, emotional and stress from having to work!
