To the people who have TMJ??
Question: how many of you got it from chewing gum too much?
How much did you chew gum, like on the weekly basis, or daily basis?
I dont chew gum everyday, i chew gum maybe 1-3pieces a week, depends, sometimes i go a couple of weeks without gum.
Now i just bought a bubblicious gum pack and i started eatting away at the packet. The packet brings 12packets of gum with 7 pieces inside each. Now i am down to 7 packets. I dont chew gum alot, but i am scared to develop TMJ, since i dont really chew that much gum is there a good chance that i can develop it, and i do planon giveing away some packets of the gum.
Answers: I am sorry, I dont chew gum & I dont have TMJ problem. Gums are chewed to relieve tenssion.
tmj is not caused by chewing gum, It is caused by an overextension of the lower jaw bone over the upper jaw bone and the causes the attached muscles to become inflammed. if you are missing back teeth it can also cause the muscle to become inflammed and hurt. Ther are alot of other factors to tmj, but go ahead and chew away it's OK
