My jaw makes loud popping noises when i either yawn, or open my mouth wide. I haven't had professional diagnosis yet, but I'm pretty sure it's TMJ. I've had this problem for 5+ years now. It doesn't hurt or anything. I think the cause is from sleeping on my face or grinding my teeth when i sleep. I don't think i grind my teeth but who knows!

I've heard of some people getting surgery for this matter. I don't want to go that route because it doesn't bother me too much.

Are there other ways to fix a minor case of TMJ?

Ok, I have always had a little bump behind my right canine tooth. Just a small one and never thought anything about it because my dentist never said anything. I have had it swell a bit before but last night it was tender and I pushed on it with my tongue, now the front part of my mouth, just behind my teeth is swollen?! Anyone know what might be going on?

For well over a year now, one of my molars has been overly sensative to pressure, but only when something touches it a certain way. The two items that stick out that hurt my tooth most are Nerds and any kind of gum that if I chew hard on that side of my mouth, will cause that tooth to be sensative. It's kind of a sharper type pain. At first this was a really bad pain, but got better after a while. Now it seems to be the same as it was a year ago...only slightly annoying.

The interesting thing is, this tooth only started to hurt after a cavity was filled in it. My dentist took some of the filling off, as much as possible, and made me bite on some sort of cracked tooth thing, which didn't seem to be TOO painful on my tooth.

What could cause this? I tend to chew on ice a little bit every now and then, could this be the cause? So far I've lived with it, and usually don't notice, unless gum or a nerd gets into that right spot.

I am not having any problems with them. But I can get them pulled for free while I am still in the military. I heard it costs $5000.00 to get them pulled by a civilian doctor.

Should you use mouthwash then brush, or vice versa? Professionals?

The gum on the far lower right side of my mouth (next to my molar) is incredibly sore, similar to what it would feel like if you had a popcorn kernel stuck in your gum. What's the best product to use to soothe the pain and/or cure the situation? I'm sure it's just a fleeting thing, but the pain is horrendous and I'm not sure what to use.

I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday, and I had spit out a tiny white chunk with a red corner. Im guessing it might have been a piece of tortilla that i bit into earlier trying to test my limits. I'm just over cautious trying to make sure that its not a blood clot that I removed.
