A member asked:
I have tmj from eating on one side of my jaw. i chew on my left side, causing it to lock. how can i fix it?

Evaluation: Why are you eating on just your left side? is there a problem with your right side? Are teeth missing? Is it a habit? your condition needs to be evaluated by a local dentist to determine the cause of your problem... only then can a treatment be determined. All the best.
