Your TMJ is caused by stress causing clenching and grinding (worked in Oral Surgery for 16 yrs for the surgeon who devised a replacement for the disk) only way to make it better is to wear a bite guard every night. Your dentist can make one or you could at least pick up one at Walmart (not as good as the dentist will make, but better than nothing. When it really flares up, go to a soft diet (think mash potatoes) and try moist heat on the joint. Medical insurance hates it because there is no good permanent fix, but dental insurance usually cover the bite guard. GL
I ordered 4 of the dog hair removers, They're a great idea, which I need help with. Thanks for the shopping lists!
