To the people who have TMJ??
Question: how many of you got/developed 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.
Also if u cant get TMJ from chewing gum, how come alot of people on here keep saying that you can develop it from chewing lots of gum?
Answers: That is because you are over using the joint.
Thats why people who grind their teeth can develop TMJ.
But, other factors do apply.
I wouldnt worry too much
Go on and chew that gum!
