Hi deMarie, it's cindy, YES i had that years ago..... tons and tons of excess saliva, it was really annoying. it was even foamy. i will never forget it, cause i told the MD, i told him," i am foaming at the mouth" and he said Isnt that weird!!! so i have always wondered about it too, and i think there is a saliva gland in the cheek, and they are even in the neck. so YES i have had that. somethings wrong there with your jaw. when did all this start up? cindy

really, foaming!!!
i'm not foaming but still annoying.

Back in march I was having pains in the side of my head, nausia after eating, dizziness, itchy ears..
Drs kept saying oh its this or its that then they didn't know..
and i said well my winsdom teeth are trying to cut threw again, do you think it could be them and the Dr said yes, so I went and saw a denstis and she reffered me to a Maxilofacial surgion and she told me it was my jaw.
the nurse explained what I had was like a sprain.
then I got over it and now funny face and head symptoms have started again, I was a bit suss because my jaw has been cracking alot lately.

Hi DeMarie,
Lots of saliva is very common for TMJ sufferers. I had that for years until a couple of years ago when I started taking medications that cause dry mouth. I'd rather have the saliva, to tell you the truth. There is a positive to extra saliva - it keeps the cavities down. Now I know why I didn't have any cavities for years. I hope I don't start getting them now.

Be very careful about the popping. If there is anyway not to pop - don't. I was a big popper. I couldn't help it. But unfortunately popping will frequently cause degenerative arthritis in the jaw joint. So please, be careful.

God bless...

oh gosh I had o idea the popping could lead to arthritis!
today I kept yawning alot and I had alot of cracking... Oh well Hopefully soon I can be sorted out.
