new fillings caused tmj symptons Posted: 03-30-08 14:26pm
My nightmare began with 2 silver fillings
being replaced with composite fillings.
Same side(right side) #3 and #30.Never
felt right always felt high even after at
least 4 or 5 adjustments. DDS said after
my 5th visit that I had an interference
going into left lateral. He
drilled(polished off enamel)on about 3
teeth.Ever since that procedure my teeth
felt misaligned. Hitting to hard on my
right side.Well I am figuring it out my
jaw moved to avoid the pain.Well that
brought on TMJ symptons.Neck/back shoulder
aches, eye twitching difficulty
swallowing,very slight click when i move
my jaw side to side no click when opening
and shutting jaw. I did get in to see tmj
dentist, he ordered night guard, and mri
to rule out disc displacement. My symptons
have gotten alot better on their own but
still there. It seems that I am chewing my
food differently and my S's don't sound
normal kind of like a lisp? Mri is
probably going to be this week of April 1.
Waiting on insurance approval. What do you
think is going on with me! I am so glad
that my tmj symptons have calmed down.
Teeth still feel strange. Thanks

i dont think that it is the fillings
themselves. it is the way the dentist did
it. was he rough? or did you have to open
wide for a long time? its good that you
are being proactive. I think that it is
tmd--but it should be easy to deal with
since you are beiong proactive and
starting now. yeah my s sounds like a lisp
too---treat that jaw like you sprained it.
ice it and eat soft foods. if you need
anyting you know where to find me. im here
to help
