Another TMJ Question

I was recently diagnosed with a temporary type of TMJ due to oral syrgery. I am not dealing with the intense discomfort I was dealing with last week and the week befor, except when I have sex, just before orgasam, I have severe sharp pain in my head. I am assuming this is due to the TMJ, but, I am going to ask anyway... Is this correct and why?

Dr. Slota: Yes it could be as a result of your TMJ.  The TMJ could be temporary or long term in nature.  Sharp pains in your head are muscular in nature.  You should seek treatment from a Neuromuscularly  trained dentist.

Neuromuscular Dental

My implants and caps and false teeth are a result of some bad dental work.  Now I have other problems such as tendinitis and tmj disorder.  Can anything be done. I am 70 and  want to be able to smile. The grinding bones in my jaw are scary. There is numbness around my mouth.

Dr. Slota: Yes Myrna, something can be done.  You need to have  someone with neuromuscular dental knowledge treat you.
