feel free to post tips to help maintain dental health. Im sure we could all use them. I know I sure could use some:) We only get one set of teeth. dentle hygiene in tmj patients is reduces due to pain and limited openings (and other things) so lets put our heads together and see if we can come up with something
I personally went and bought a waterpick so I could "floss" with limited opening.

Know exactly what you mean. I am constantly burshing my teeth which can take a while if jaw really sore. Constantly use mouth wash to assist with areas I cant reach. When my jaw is really sore and I cant get my tooth brush head in the back of my mouth I quite often will use a cotton bud with toothpaste to try and clean my back teeth Not a good look. Oh well at least I'm trying

Dyan, I don't have problems with flossing so I didn't know how to vote. I can only open my mouth 24 mm, but flossing has never been a problem. I do have to use a very long piece of floss and the waxed tape works better for me. I don't know if it's my technique or what. We have to do it; tho, not every day.
