Does anyone experience a Dental problem with Jaw Joint tightness?

Posted by pattycake1 @pattycake1, Jul 26, 2023

At first I thought it might be a severe ear ache. However it seems to be a jaw joint tightness that causes pain around the ear and jaw joint extending at times into the skull and neck and shoulders. I am wondering if it might be a dental problem like mis alinement due to several recent implants in upper teeth?

In reply to @sequoia "I’ve been having some jaw issues , like when I yawn my jaw clicks and tightens..." + (show)

@sequoia To this and other jaw issues. A cause can be grinding teeth at night due to some kind of trauma, such as marriage break up. I had this many years ago and once recognised (by a dental student) as such, it goes away.
