So, our family Dr(former) diagnosed it as TMJ Twice as did the ENT that the MD sent me to.
The ENT scoped me but miss the Stage IV cancer.
A routine dental exam revealed that I didn’t have TMJ and that I had paralysis to my tongue along with a tumor at the base of my tongue, beneath my tongue and in my throat. Mind you, this is within 4 days of seeing our former doctor again!
My dentist contacted the ENT and told him that he needed to conduct another exam and thoroughly scope my throat!
The ENT got me back in the next day and TADA, he found what my dentist told him.
No hard feelings towards my two doctors but how does a dentist find what they had missed?
