TMJ Disfunction : TMJ Disfunction can arise from several causes. These include: gum chewing, eating hard or very sticky foods, yawning too wide, trauma, and stress. First see an Oral Surgeon to rule out and/or reposition a slipped disk. Then see a physical therapist to treat the supporting muscled that are under spasm. Moist heat, softer foods and stree reduction can help as well.
