#How To Do Tmj X Ray

[hungerpunch]

okay actually. i am maybe going to cry lol. here is a non-exhaustive list of the medical professionals i have seen since i was in seventh grade:

too many internists (as primary care/general practice) to actually count. well over a dozen.

two neurologists

one spine specialist

seven physical therapists

two chiropractors

four massage therapists

three dentists

one oral surgeon

i have had many MRIs and x-rays. i have had a lot of blood taken. i have taken rounds of steroids and muscle relaxers for pain/symptom management. there have been times i could not turn my head to one side for months at a time. i have scoliosis, which wasn't figured out until the fifth or so physical therapist, even though previous chiropractors had taken x-rays of my spine.

here is a non-exhaustive list of reasons why i sought such intensive care:

debilitating migraines

severe back pain

severe neck pain

bad pain flares in my back teeth during times of stress

ear aches

here is a non-exhaustive list of things i have been told about myself by these professionals:

the enamel on my teeth was worn off and had to be artificially reapplied "because" i "brushed my teeth too aggressively."

that the reason my ears hurt was "because" i "cleaned them too aggressively" and there was no protective ear wax left.

that the lowest three discs in my spine were degenerating.

that i was grinding my teeth in my sleep.

that i was hyper-tensing in my sleep and that i should "take xanax daily & nightly to make it stop."

that i had scoliosis. (this one is 100% confirmed)

that i needed therapy to become less stressed so my muscles would relax.

that i needed massage therapy and other various treatments to address how tight all my fascia was in certain parts of my body.

that i should try mouth guards because the teeth grinding had started to do real damage.

that i should enter a sleep study for how intense and chronic my insomnia was.

that the pain in my hands/tingling in my fingers was because my wrists were too weak.

that there was "something evil stored" in my neck

and then. an anon yesterday asked if i had tmj. and i said probably not. and then @chronodyne slid me a message that said "re: tmj, mine is myofascial and i also don’t have the clicking/trouble opening my mouth."

so i did some reading.

starting with myofascial tmj got me here (cedars-sinai.org)

i paused to look up bruxism, which turns out to be the medical term for grinding/clenching your fucking teeth:

highlights are things i have experienced and sought or had medical attention for (dull headaches are not highlighted because i have only ever sought medical attention for migraines, though i certainly have dull headaches all the time).

okay. so i know i clench my jaw/grind my teeth in the daytime. and a dentist has told me before that it's evident i do it in my sleep, too. just the other day i woke up with a ravaged inside right cheek from chewing it in my sleep. so i can safely self-diagnose bruxism.

back to tmd.

highlights are symptoms i have experienced. i did not highlight teeth sensitivity because i would classify it as pain instead. but you don't understand the howl i let out internally when i read the ringing in the ears and numbness/tingling feeling in your fingers bullet points. i have been operating under the assumption that i have tinnitus and probably a very scary autoimmune disorder that i just am better off ignoring (this is not medical advice, it's avoidance). i'm not saying i don't have those things, but i also never knew there were other possibilities.

over the course of my life i have had many injuries to my neck and actually i have also had a pretty severe concussion before, which i would classify as a head injury. i have many of the symptoms listed for tmd. i have even undergone, incongruously, many of the treatments for it. so many doctors have noted and attempted to address issues with my fascia, with my muscles, with my tension.

it raising its ugly head when i'm stressed makes sense i literally said in my post yesterday DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE WHEN THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE RAISES LOL SOB

i cannot conclusively diagnose myself with tmd or, for that matter, with mps (myofasical pain syndrome, which i had also never heard of!). but i am so, so frustrated because i have never even heard these words. i have never been screened for these things. no medical professional has ever discussed these possibilities with me, even when they're treating me for several of the symptoms!

i'm crying for all the tests i've undergone that led to nothing. always, infuriatingly, labeled a medical mystery. for the rounds of steroids and muscle relaxers i've been prescribed. for the painful manual manipulations i've been subjected to. for every single person who ever touched my body commenting on how tight/tense my neck is. for the addiction that stemmed from that first xanax prescription when i was 15 that caused so much fucking grief in my life. for the chronic pain that has swallowed whole decades of my life and sapped my energy since i was a child.

none of these symptoms were ever NOT disclosed to a medical professional. at each one, i did the immense labor of dragging out my entire, perplexing medical history, including injuries and past issues and treatments. but nobody ever thought to consider this? nobody, with all those degrees, with those long careers, with all those patients, ever thought to consider this? while i was in all those paper gowns, on all those cold tables, getting poked and prodded, crying, paying for tests i could not afford, so sleep deprived i thought i'd die at 25, nobody considered this?

anyway @chronodyne suggested seeing an oral surgeon to discuss this so. i guess that's what i'm looking up next.

Getting bummed out thinking about how many of my chronic problems could have been headed off at the pass with proper care, though at the same time I really did seek treatment when certain things were starting, I just never got what I needed. My general experience with doctors has been that they don't really care what's going on with you if

a) Your symptoms do not exactly match some very common 101-level thing with clear instructions in the proverbial manual, and/or

b) Your symptoms are not catastrophically bad yet (and even if they are the doctor might still loop back to (a) to avoid having to solve a mystery, like if they didn't learn it in undergrad then they don't want to deal with it at all)

My big complex thing is probably all because of stress, which is sad; my knotted up shoulder affects my neck which affects my jaw (tmj, $$$ out of pocket for corrective appliances), which affects my ear which now rings permanently, and my back problems also seem to put some kind of pressure on my right lung, so I haven't really taken a clear breath in like 20 years. I saw a chiropractor when this first started happening and he took x-rays and everything, but I soon developed the suspicion that he wasn't a real doctor, and by this I specifically mean like, maybe he was a fugitive from the law and he had assumed the ruse of being a respectable clinician to hide out, and now he's just stuck doing the actual job like in SISTER ACT or something.

He was extremely, cartoonishly handsome with a permanent 5 o'clock shadow and a dramatic grey streak in his hair like a soap opera character, the only thing he was missing was an eyepatch. I know people get addicted to seeing chiropractors because of the satisfaction of having your back cracked and stuff, but this guy never did anything like that. I would lie down and he would sort of vaguely push on different parts of me in a way that was almost imperceptible. Then he showed me some stretches I should do; when I tried them in front of him, I would just get to the point where I started to feel something good before he'd start going "NO! DON'T GO THAT FAR, YOU DON'T WANNA DO THAT!" and I'd back way off while thinking But now I'm not stretching, this is just my normal range of motion, what is this supposed to do?? I really didn't get anything at all out of seeing that guy, although I did get some short term relief from his in-house acupuncturist, a pleasant hippie lady who was into MMA and ran a pit bull rescue. I don't know, people are funny.

TL;DR - chronic illness and dental anxiety

There is nothing like finally overcoming your inertia, partially due to ADHD and partially due to anxiety (with a healthy side dish of PTSD), to find a new dentist (one that offers sedation dentistry in particular) AND make an appointment AND show up to the appointment.... Only to find out that the x-rays show there are so many issues with your teeth, including a back molar that needs to be extracted (I knew it had cracked or broken at some point in the past, though I'm not sure when, I had at least hoped it was salvageable, and somewhere between 5-10 cavities, such that they didn't even bother doing the basic cleaning because I am going to have to come back to get these procedures done under sedation so they recommended just getting the normal maintenance stuff while I'm "under". Plus, depending on the price and whether insurance will cover some of the cost, the dentist recommended getting Botox injections to help relax my jaw since I have pretty bad TMJ which can trigger migraines. I hadn't known Botox could be effective for TMJ (though I had heard about its use for migraine patients) but if it works, they might get a new Botox customer out of the deal. So now I have to go back for in-erpson appointments at LEAST two more times: once to meet with the nurse/practice manager to go over the planned procedure, get written consent, and also review the estimated cost that won't be covered by my dental insurance, particularly the sedation. Only after THAT meeting can I schedule the appointment. Oh, and the dentist wants to get in touch with my PCP and GI beforehand to confirm there are no contradictions for sedation, so who knows how long that will take. Between a rough year health-wise (physically and mentally), having a two-year-old, moving to a new house, etc etc, I knew my dental hygiene hadn't been exactly A+ levels, but I have to get one molar pulled entirely (I knew it was broken but didn't realize how bad it was), get something like a half-dozen cavities filled, and get the normal cleaning, fluoride treatment, and hopefully treatment for my jaw so that all of the time. Hopefully, spending this much time in the chair doesn't trigger a migraine. Other fun observations from the new dentist: given my immunosuppression and tendency towards gum inflammation, he suggests I use medicated toothpaste from this point on but he also said he saw signs that one of my new medications (or maybe just age) was giving me dry mouth, which encourages the environment that causes things like cavities and gum disease, so I also need a new mouth wash for that too. None of this is ideal, but there is really something about having a bad dentist's appointment that really makes you feel like you're failing at adulthood.

What is a Tinnitus Assessment?

In addition to listening to a person’s description of their tinnitus, a tinnitus assessment includes asking questions about when it started and what it sounds like. It also involves a review of a person’s medical history and examining their ears.

Questionnaires can be useful if the results are discussed with the person and used to inform a management plan, as well as being shared with their healthcare professional colleagues.

Symptoms

Some people don't notice a tinnitus assessment or aren't bothered by it, but others find it distracting and may suffer from anxiety and sleep disturbance. You should talk to your doctor if your tinnitus affects your daily activities.

Your doctor will discuss your symptoms and ask how long you've been having them.

She or he will also review your medical history, including any medications you take. Some drugs can cause tinnitus, especially at high doses.

The clinician will do a physical examination, listen to your ears and neck with a stethoscope and a tuning fork, and perform a hearing test (audiogram). The test can determine if you have subjective tinnitus. Objective tinnitus is audible to someone else, such as a thudding sound or heartbeat, and accounts for about 5 percent of all cases. This form can be associated with vascular disorders, jaw joint problems (TMJ), or tumors such as acoustic neuroma.

Your doctor may recommend an imaging test to check for a possible cause of your tinnitus, such as magnetic resonance angiography or computerized tomography angiography.

Diagnosis

For most people, the noise is a constant sound in one or both ears that does not seem to have a source. It can appear as ringing, buzzing, hissing, whistling, or roaring and may be high- or low-pitched. The sound can be steady or pulsating and come and go. It is usually audible only to the person with tinnitus. In general, constant tinnitus doesn’t indicate a serious health problem. It can be caused by many things including loud noise, certain medications (especially ototoxic drugs), impacted earwax, and middle ear infections.

A physician will ask questions about your symptoms and do a physical exam, including looking in your ears. They will also ask when the tinnitus began and how much it affects your daily activities. They will refer you to an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist) for a hearing test and other tests, including x-rays or scans. These tests will help determine if you have an underlying condition that needs treatment, such as a traumatic injury to the head or neck, Meniere’s disease, or a cholesteatoma, a growth behind the eardrum.

Treatment

Your doctor can address underlying medical conditions that might be causing your tinnitus. He or she can also prescribe medications to ease the ringing, buzzing, clicking, and hissing noises that are associated with tinnitus. They may also remove excess earwax, and treat blood vessel problems or tumors that might be causing your tinnitus.

A doctor can conduct a hearing test to identify whether your tinnitus is caused by a medical condition that needs to be treated. For the test, you sit in a soundproof room wearing earphones that transmit sounds to one ear at a time. You indicate when you hear each sound, and your results are compared to those of people your age and sex.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other counseling can help you learn coping techniques to make your tinnitus less bothersome. It can also teach you how to relax, which may make your tinnitus sound quieter. A CBT program can be offered by a mental health professional or by a group.

Management

The first step is to talk with your primary hearing loss physician, who may check your ears for earwax or fluid and ask about your medical history. You may be referred to an audiologist (a medical professional who specialises in hearing) for a complete hearing evaluation, including tests that measure your ability to hear sounds and identify any hearing loss.

If the tinnitus has a clearly identifiable cause, such as an underlying medical condition or medication, treatment may relieve the distressing symptoms. A person’s tinnitus and associated hyperacusis can often be managed by an interdisciplinary team that includes an audiologist, a psychiatrist, a psychologist and a primary care physician.

Providing the right information in a timely manner at the correct cognitive and linguistic level to people with tinnitus can reduce their distress and help them seek effective management. This can include the provision of self-help options such as tinnitus relief therapies, and professionally or self-guided programs that provide CBT for tinnitus and/or sound therapy.

How do orthodontists determine the need for braces?

Orthodontists determine the need for braces by evaluating a variety of factors, including:

Malocclusion: This is a general term for any misalignment of the teeth or jaws. Orthodontists can identify a variety of malocclusions, including crowding, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite.

Functional problems: Orthodontists will also assess whether the patient is experiencing any functional problems as a result of their malocclusion. These problems can include difficulty biting or chewing, speech problems, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Cosmetic concerns: While orthodontists are primarily concerned with the function of the teeth and jaws, they will also consider the patient's cosmetic concerns. Patients may be unhappy with the appearance of their teeth, or they may have difficulty smiling or speaking confidently.

In addition to evaluating these factors, orthodontists will also take a thorough medical history and perform a comprehensive dental examination. They may also take X-rays and photographs of the patient's teeth and jaws.

Based on their evaluation, orthodontists will develop a treatment plan that is customized to the patient's individual needs. The treatment plan will typically include the type of braces to be used, the length of treatment, and the expected results.

Here are some of the specific signs that may indicate that a person needs braces:

Crowded or crooked teeth: This is the most common reason for orthodontic treatment. Crowded teeth can make it difficult to clean the teeth properly, which can lead to cavities and gum disease.

Overbite or underbite: An overbite is when the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth by more than 2-3 millimeters. An underbite is when the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth by more than 2-3 millimeters. Overbites and underbites can make it difficult to bite or chew properly.

Crossbite: This is when the upper teeth bite on the inside of the lower teeth, or vice versa. Crossbites can lead to uneven wear of the teeth and jaw problems.

Open bite: This is when there is a gap between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed. Open bites can make it difficult to speak properly.

If you are concerned that you or your child may need braces, it is important to see an orthodontist for an evaluation. Orthodontists can help you determine if treatment is necessary and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.

Different Types of Dental Procedures There are various types of dental procedures that a person may need at different stages of their life.

For those with damaged or missing teeth, there are several options available such as fillings, crowns, bridges, implants or dentures. These treatments can help restore function and improve one’s smile. Orthodontic treatment is also quite common for people who have misaligned teeth or bite issues. Braces or aligners can be used to gradually shift the position of the teeth over time. Some individuals may require oral surgery for more severe dental problems such as impacted wisdom teeth or jaw disorders like TMJ. In these cases, a specialist may be necessary to perform the necessary procedure. It’s important to note that each patient’s needs will vary and should be discussed thoroughly with a dentist before any treatment plan is made. How Much Does Dental Care Cost? When it comes to dental care, cost is often a concern for many people. The truth is that the cost of dental care can vary widely depending on a variety of factors such as location, type of treatment, and insurance coverage. For basic services like routine cleanings and check-ups, the cost can be relatively low. However, more complex procedures like fillings or root canals can quickly add up in terms of cost. While insurance coverage can help lower the overall expenses associated with dental care, not all plans cover every type of treatment. It’s important to understand your policy and what you may be responsible for paying out-of-pocket. Additionally, many dentists offer financing options or payment plans to make costly treatments more manageable for their patients. Don’t hesitate to ask about these options if you’re concerned about affording necessary care. Ultimately, prioritizing regular preventative care through routine check-ups and addressing any issues promptly can help avoid larger costs down the road.

Golly has this been a week.

I'm in exuberant pain periodically for the last few days.

I went to the dentist yesterday and had me checked out with an x-ray. No cavities, no abcess, no infections. They recommend I see a dental specialist. It was over 200 dollars just for the xray and for them to poke on my teeth. I can only imagine how much more a dental specialist would cost.

I was thinking, ok TMJ then. There's nothing they can really do but pain management and wait for it to run its course. I decided to see my chiropractor and see if he could help me. After some twisting and pressure and this one thing that felt like I was punched in the face with a pogo stick I felt no relief. He said based on his exam that he doesn't think I have tmj but instead an ear infection. Right, ok

I went to my family health practice and told the whole story. The doc I saw was about to tell me to go to the ER with how severe the pain was. I told her I couldn't afford that. They gave me a shot of some sort of anti-inflammatory, some prescriptions, and sent me on my way.

I feel a little better but I still have a good amount of pain. Took the antibiotic, took the presidone, and now for flexeril which I have never taken before and am a bit nervous about.

If I'm not better in a week, I can either seek out the dental specialist, which will likely cost me a fortune, OR an ENT.

SINCE SATURDAY I have had severe pain especially at bedtime. Monday night I woke up 4x in pain so bad. Last night I slept with my head propped up and took 3 advil and 2 Tylenol before going to sleep.

Doc said the flexeril would knock me for a loop. Just took one about 5 min ago. We'll see where it goes.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is where the lower jawbone meets the skull. The TMJ is a ball-and-socket joint that allows the lower jaw to move in all directions. It is one of the most frequently used joints in the body and is essential for chewing, speaking, and yawning.

The TMJ is surrounded by a cuff of tissue called the capsule. The capsule helps to stabilize the joint and keeps the bones from rubbing against each other. The capsule is lined with a layer of cartilage called the articular disc. The articular disc cushions the bones and allows them to move smoothly against each other.

The TMJ is held together by a system of muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These structures work together to keep the jawbone in place and allow it to move freely.

TMD occurs when there is dysfunction in any of these structures. TMD can be caused by problems with the muscles, ligaments, or tendons around the TMJ. It can also be caused by problems with the articular disc or by damage to the bones themselves.

What causes TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that connects your lower jaw to your skull. It lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side so you can talk, chew, and yawn.

But when the TMJ isn’t working right, it can cause a lot of problems. That’s called TMD (temporomandibular disorder).

There are a lot of different things that can cause TMD, but no one knows for sure what causes it. Some experts think it might be due to:

Arthritis or other problems with the TMJ itself

Problems with the muscles and ligaments around the TMJ

Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)

Stress

Whatever the cause, TMD can be very painful. It can make it hard to chew or even open your mouth wide. You may hear clicking or popping sounds when you move your jaw. And your jaw may feel stiff or “locked” in place.

How is TMJ diagnosed?

TMJ disorders are notoriously difficult to diagnose because the symptoms can be so varied and nonspecific. For example, many people who suffer from migraines also have TMJ, but not all people with TMJ have migraines. And then other conditions can cause similar symptoms, such as sinus infections or toothaches.

The best way to diagnose TMJ is to see a qualified healthcare provider who has experience in treating these disorders. They will take a complete medical history and conduct a physical examination. They may also order imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to get a better look at the joints.

Once a diagnosis is made, the healthcare provider will develop a treatment plan that may include medication, physical therapy, orthotic devices, or surgery. In some cases, a combination of treatments is necessary to achieve relief from the symptoms.

The different types of TMJ treatments There are a variety of different treatments available for TMJ disorders, depending on the specific condition and its severity. Some common treatments include:

Pain medication: Over-the-counter or prescription pain medication can help to relieve pain and inflammation associated with TMJ disorders.

Hot or cold compresses: Applying heat or ice to the affected area can also help to reduce pain and inflammation.

Jaw exercises: Specific exercises that stretch and strengthen the muscles around the jaw can help to improve function and reduce pain.

Dietary changes: Avoiding hard or chewy foods, as well as limiting caffeine and alcohol, can help to reduce stress on the jaw and prevent further pain.

Splints or mouth guards: Wearing a splint or mouth guard at night can help to keep the teeth in alignment and prevent further damage to the TMJ joint.

Pros and cons of TMJ treatments

When it comes to TMJ treatment, there are a few different schools of thought. Some people believe that the best course of action is to do nothing and let the body heal itself. Others believe that aggressive treatment is necessary in order to relieve the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ.

There are pros and cons to both approaches. Doing nothing may lead to the condition resolving on its own, but it may also take months or even years for this to happen. And during that time, the pain and discomfort can be significant.

Aggressive treatment, on the other hand, can provide relief more quickly but may also have some risks and side effects. The most common type of aggressive treatment is surgery, which can be effective but also carries the risk of complications.

So, ultimately, the decision to pursue aggressive treatment for TMJ should be made after careful consideration and consultation with a healthcare professional.

Tinnitus Assessment

There is variation in how tinnitus is assessed when people first present. Appropriate information in a timely manner can reduce distress and prevent symptoms from becoming debilitating.

It is important to identify any underlying health issues which may be contributing to the tinnitus. This could include head trauma or surgery, dental issues and TMJ dysfunction.

Identifying the Symptoms

If you have ringing, buzzing, roaring or hissing noises in your ears, you should go to your doctor and describe what you are tinnitus assessment. This information is important to the diagnosis of tinnitus. Your doctor will ask questions about your medical history, medications you take and supplements you use, your exposure to loud noise, and other factors that might be related to the tinnitus.

It is important to identify if the noises are pulsatile (like blood rushing) or constant. Pulsatile tinnitus often indicates a neurological cause and needs immediate evaluation, as it can be life-threatening, such as with a stroke or brain tumor.

Your doctor will also perform a physical examination of the ears and sensitive internal structures, using a handheld magnifying device for inspection. They will assess the degree to which your tinnitus bothers you, and may ask questions about your ability to concentrate, sleep or think clearly. They may also use a questionnaire like the Tinnitus Functional Index and visual analogue scales to assess your symptoms.

Identifying the Causes

Tinnitus can sound like ringing in the ears, buzzing, whistling, chirping, hissing, roaring, or other noises that are inside your head and not caused by anything you can hear. The noise may be constant or it can come and go. It can be in one ear or both ear(s). It can also be a low noise or a high noise or it can be pulsatile (sound that beats a steady rhythm).

Some people have tinnitus with no other symptoms and they can't find an underlying cause for their tinnitus. But if your tinnitus is bothering you a lot, or if it is causing problems with sleep, work, concentration, or social interaction, your doctor might do a physical exam and check your ears. They might order a hearing test or other tests such as a CT scan, an MRI scan, blood vessel studies, or x-rays.

If you are experiencing tinnitus that is associated with the sudden onset of other symptoms, you should be seen by a mental health management team for assessment and treatment to prevent suicide. This should be done as quickly as possible.

Identifying the Co-morbidities

People often report having tinnitus in combination with other health conditions, such as insomnia, concentration difficulties, or depression. If left unaddressed, these symptoms can affect a person’s quality of life and have a direct impact on the way they function.

It is important that healthcare professionals take a detailed medical history to help either rule out or account for comorbidities. These may include thyroid status, vertigo, hearing loss and/or tinnitus, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and anxiety.

A hearing test (audiological exam) is used to check for underlying issues that can cause tinnitus, such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, allergies, low vitamin levels, hormone changes, and autoimmune disorders like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. The test involves sitting in a sound-proof room wearing earphones and listening to sounds like birds chirping and refrigerators humming. It can also reveal any damage to your ears. Your doctor will also look at your head and neck to see if there are any signs of inflammation or infection.

Developing a Management Plan

When hearing loss in Australia is bothersome or impacts quality of life, people should be offered a range of interventions to improve their management. These are often provided by an interdisciplinary team (e.g., nurse, audiologist, physician, psychologist, therapist, counselor).

Questionnaires are useful tools for quantifying tinnitus symptoms and assessing the impact on a person’s quality of life. However, the committee also agreed that discussing the answers to component questions with people can be more useful than simply presenting the results of their questionnaire scores.

Some of the available tinnitus therapies include biofeedback training, hypnotherapy, myofascial trigger point therapy, and neuromodulation (e.g., TRT). In addition to these modalities, patients may be provided with sound therapies and/or tinnitus maskers. The tinnitus maskers are designed to suppress the tinnitus signal, helping it become less prominent in the background. These techniques are not expected to change the loudness of the tinnitus, but they can significantly reduce its intrusiveness and improve quality of life.
