    it sucks having this :(
    I had a soccer game yesterday and the oppsoing team had a corner kick i got the ball wth my chest and somehow it hit my lower right side of my mandible. The pain was awful.(started since i was 12, got worse on that day) It was throbbing pain, popping constantly. I really need to see a doctor but what kind of doctor should i see? Ive been to many and nothing. A doctor that specializes in TMD
    Im only 14… i just dont want no more pain, thats all :(

    @cactimargie
    Hard to prove first think you should do is visit a Orthodontist specialist and have it examined for damage and potential cause, If there is evidence of it being a byproduct of dental work i would speak to a laywer about potental action that could be taken. In short its going to cost you a good chunk in xray and medical bill’s to find out, Though you should probley see a orthodontist anyways about, the condition has the potential to get progressively worse depending on the cause.

    What does the victim of a bad dentist do? By drilling four of my back teeth, a dentist has made me extremely ill and turned my life upside down with tmj pain. I may never recover and he’s eating steaks and raw veggies.

    well my first comment was based on your saying that dentists aren’t smart enough to become doctors… They are doctors… you are still an idiot for not seeing that. Yes so are Vets. Good for you to recognize that. You seem to have some issues with the language… “Maybe you will find a dentist that chose to one through choice instead of a last resort….” What the hell does that say? Go back to school.

    @mikhunn So are veterinarians… What is your point idiot?

    This video has things just backwards for most people with TMD. It’s isn’t that the bad bite caused the TMD, it’s that the TMD caused the bad bite. It’s very complex and there are several different problems that can occur. But TMD doesn’t have to even be painful. If you joint pops you have TMD.

    I was diagnosed at the age of fourteen. I can’t remember a day where I didn’t wake up in pain or go to bed in pain. I’ve had people laugh at me over this but it’s really not funny

    @cactimargie: I know the feeling… I believe people become dentists when they aren’t smart enough to be doctors… So good luck… Maybe you will find a dentist that chose to one through choice instead of a last resort to be a “doctor”…

    II anyone knows a good TMJ specialist in the San Francisco Bay Area who works with CROWNS, please let me know. My crown 30 & tooth 19 started my bruxism & bite problems years ago. NOW, I have no cusps on my molars which started causing jaw, neck, ear, face, and inner ear pain. I read that OCCLUSAL EQUILIBRATION specialists are extremely difficult to find. I feel so hopeless!

  16. cactimargie May 4, 2010 at 3:15 pm #

    Where are you so I can get treatment?

  17. cactimargie May 4, 2010 at 3:24 pm #

    I haven’t been able to chew at all for 60 days. My dentist adjusted 4 upper crowns on the right. 2 days later I was in severe jaw joint pain that put me in bed for 30 days. This dental butchery is shameful. It is going to cost me thousands of dollars to fix the dental error, all because I trusted a dentist.
