I have been to an ENT and I have had test
for salivary stones and they said that I
do not have any. But, I have what feels
like a lot of tmj pain mostly on the right
side of my jaw near the joint I think and
if feels like saliva gets blocked there
then shoots out if I massage the area.
The left side if fine but when it releases
it the tmj pain also feels less painful.
Has anyone had this, can the tmj muscle in
that area spasm so much to cause problems
with the paratoid gland in that area?

Yes it could. I have a lot of saliva too,
thats just from haveing so many foreign
objects in my mouth for so long. I think
you should get your tmd under control. If
you need help finding a doctor let me
know.

Right now I just have some right ear pain
and if also feel like the pain is in my
mouth on the same side behind the back
teeth. It hurts so much. Is there a way
to stretch these internal muscles ... I
think it is the lateral pterigoid.

you can do masagge on them put pressure on
it and rub downwards.or you could spend
some money and get a tens machine. and
before you use it ask your doctor to show
you how to use it.

No one has ever mentions a TENS machine to
me before. Is it easy to use? Also is
there a way to find out which muscle
triggers the excessive salvation?

yes a tens is easy to use--the machine is
a little expensive. usually they dont give
you one unless you are really bad. I have
one. Its primarily used by neuromuscular
dentists. and that method of treatment
really works.
Im not quite sure which muscles trigger
salivation. Im sure you could do a search
on it or ask your doctor. i can see if i
can find anything.
