Q: I Would Appreciate Some Information About My Problem

I was in a car accident a few years back. I broke my front tooth and the dentist bonded the corner where it broke. Well the past 6 years it breaks again at least twice a year. The last time I went to have it repaired was in the beginning of dec 2003. Well I am not sure that it is related but the last few days when I wake up my teeth are fine when my mouth is closed. However as the day goes on it seems like when I bite down my bottom fron teeth are hitting the back of my top front tooth. It is annoying and is starting to cause pain in my front tooth. I have no idea why this is happening and I thought if I ignored it, it would go away. No such luck, I made an appt. With the dentist and I feel like I am going to the dr for a paper cut. Does anyone have any suggestions why my teeth are doign this, is it normal? It hasn't happend to me ever before. Thanks!

It sounds like your bite was thrown off at the time of the car accident. It is possible that you have neck injuries resulting from the car accident that are causing you to hold your head differently than you were before the accident. This "new" head posture is going to and will cause your teeth to come together differently than before. Over time you will probably clench or grind your teeth (probably at night while you are asleep and unconscious) trying to get them in a position that is comfortable for your jaw joint and chewing muscles. For more information due a search on neuromuscular dentistry. There is a lot of information out there on this topic....It's been around since the 1970's... Pm me for more info if ya want. Good luck!!
