I own an extreme chewing problem. I love bending straws and chewing on them. Can this bring in TMJ worse?
Well its not recomended but you shouldn't.
You should:
1).Rest the muscles and joints by ingestion soft foods.
2).Do not chew gum.
3).Avoid clenching or tensing.
4).Relax muscles with moist warmness (1/2 hour at least twice daily).
Hope this help
Yes...it did for me. Also chewing on sunflower seeds and popping them amenable with my teeth. Also beef jerkey and chewing gum...sucks!
Yes. Chewing on anything can worsen your TMJ.
Chew what is needed & choose things/food to be exact not too chewy, sticky, etc.
that ruins your teeth chewing on straws. Get a chew toy or chew some gum. I chew gum all the time. I suggest orbit or eclipse. You can buy them at stone, aldi, walgreens, target. Anywhere!!
