Mouth jaw and teeth pain. no what it is?
my ex wife used to have this. turns out she was clenching her jaw and teeth in her sleep at night.


she got a custom mouth guard, made from a semi hard gel. she would put it in at night.





ask your dentist to make one for you. this will keep you from clenching your jaw at night.





also, you will need to find out why you are so uptight from your daily life, that you clench at night.





(she was just always angry, notice I said %26quot;ex-wife%26quot;)
Reply:I had similar pain, but it also flared out and made my nose hurt. It felt like I had been hit in the face with a 2x4. My doctor sent me to a dentist that specializes in TMJ. It%26#039;s the muscle in your jaw. Turns out I was clenching my jaw at night and my jaw was also slightly out of alignment. I had a itty bitty mouth guard made to wear when I sleep. It only covers your 2 top front teeth therefore preventing the grinding and clenching. I also had a guard to wear during the day to re-align the jaw. It didn%26#039;t hurt at all. I would go every week to have it adjusted. I don%26#039;t wear that one anymore, only the one for sleeping.
Reply:I think you are experiencing Temporo-mandibular Joint (TMJ)


Syndrome. People with this disorder suffer headaches, ear, neck, jaw and shoulder pain in extreme cases. This problem is related to the jaw joint. The TMJ connects the lower jaw to the skull under your ear; which probably why you have earaches. Grinding of your teeth at night is also an indication why you are experiencing this pain. I don%26#039;t know why your gums are flared up, maybe because the mouth guard is not fitting your mouth correctly. Having problems with a jaw that locks in position or difficult to open, problems biting, and popping sounds when you bite are all symptoms of TMJ Syndrome. When you are mad, frowning, quiet, emotionally distraught, concentrating; anything that would intensify your muscles, do you notice usually your mouth is completely closed and your teeth clenched together? Try to relax your teeth from clenching your jaw. Some people have that habit.


Usually, your dentist would refer you to a Periodontal Surgeon for treatment. val
