A member asked:
Why tmj can cause difficulties in swallowing? cand tmj in severe disc damage cases cause like throat spasm or more dificulties?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ: In severe cases of TMJ syndrome inadequately chewed solid food may result in difficulty transferring food from your mouth to your pharynx but I'm not aware of it causing pharyngeal spasms per se. An oral surgeon could advise you best.
