Dental surgery (pulling abscessed tooth) and bronchiectasis

I have recently had jaw, tooth, ear and face pain and was told it was TMJ. ( had face CT and saw an ENT) Then I realized that when I do nebulizer that I hold the mouthpiece in my teeth so that I can read the newspaper with both hands. I am clenching and ultimately causing the jaw pain.
Hope this helps.

Me too! Once I put the paper on the table and held the neb in one hand, it was gone. Also, the RT told me to hold the neb with my lips, not my teeth. This after using one for XX years, clenching my teeth - who says we can't learn something new? My daughter used a mask because she couldn't break the jaw-clenching habit.
