#Temporomandibular joint disorder

[pitiful-anonymous-vampire]

vent post cuz I need to vent 😅

-

trying to do even the most basic tasks as a mute person is excessively time consuming at best, and downright impossible at worst. When I had to change my school computer password, it took over ten emails between myself and IT to get the password changed. The school policy was you had to phone the IT desk to confirm your identity. But, of course, I couldn’t do that. Eventually they allowed me to change my password. This process though took me three days compared to the five second phone calls the other students made

I am currently looking for a new massage therapist and physiotherapist, as mine have moved away. I found one place close to home that seemed promising. Their “contact us” page had an email address listed, so I emailed them. They said they would not book me in if I didn’t phone.

I decided to give up on them and try somewhere else. There was a very promising place in the same building as my therapist.

Once again, I went to their “contact us” page and they had an email address there. I emailed them and said I had some questions about their practice (due to being super immunocompromised and disabled, I have to repeat this process everywhere I go. It’s frustrating). I received an email back saying they’d answer my questions if I called them.

Later today, they actually called me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do anything about that… I just watched my phone as it rang and wished I could just answer it. I ended up emailing them a second time, explaining why I could not answer their phone call.

My therapist has been ill the past month, so I’ve not gotten to go to any appointments. I decided to do an online appointment using a site that allows you to text, video call, or phone call. I’ve used this service for years and have always texted. I have a note on file that explains I can only text and why I can only text.

Unfortunately the only therapists available were ones I haven’t had before. They both spent up to a third of my appointment time telling me that it would be so much better for me to phone them or do a video chat with them than to text. I basically wasted my money because I spent most of my time explaining why I couldn’t do phone or video calls. The one therapist, even after I explained, continued to tell me to video call her throughout the appointment.

I am constantly prevented from accessing the care that I need, simply because I cannot communicate in the way people prefer. It’s frustrating. Why put several contact options when you’re just going to refuse all but one? Where does that leave people who cannot communicate in the way that you’d like?

And this isn’t just a mute/ non verbal, semi verbal issue. There are many people who cannot get the care they need because of an inability to communicate in a single acceptable way. I’ve spoken to many people about this issue, and it’s shocking just how many people are struggling unnecessarily simply because they can’t communicate in a single acceptable way. Disabled people, neurodivergent people, people with speech impediments, deaf and hard of hearing folks, etc all end up left behind.

It has become so frustrating that I just had to vent somewhere. I’m so tired of always having to work extra hard just for the most basic things. And this doesn’t just apply to my speech issues. My illnesses and disabilities also require excessive planning and effort to ensure basic accommodations. I feel like I am living life on hard mode at all times. Everything is so much more time (and energy) consuming than it has to be. I’m exhausted trying to simply have access to the things most people do. It’s taken me four days so far just to get a hair appointment! I have been trying to get a physio appointment for three weeks! We need change as a society so people can have access to the things they need and want. I am absolutely fed up having to deal with this kind of thing every single day of my life

Sorry… that was a longer rant than anticipated 😅 I just really needed to unload my frustration somehow

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) affects millions of people worldwide, leading to discomfort and pain that can significantly impact daily life. At Parkside Dental in Brooklyn, we understand the complexities of TMJ issues and are committed to providing effective solutions, including our specialized mini TMJ treatment.

Understanding TMJ

The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull, allowing for smooth movements necessary for eating, speaking, and facial expressions. TMJ disorders can arise from various factors, including stress, teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, or injury. Symptoms often include:

Jaw pain or tenderness

Frequent headaches

Difficulty chewing

Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw

Earaches or ringing in the ears

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult a dental professional to determine the best course of action.

What is Mini TMJ Treatment?

At Parkside Dental, our mini TMJ treatment focuses on providing targeted, non-invasive solutions for TMJ disorders. This approach aims to alleviate pain and restore normal function without the need for extensive procedures.

Benefits of Mini TMJ Treatment

Minimally Invasive: Unlike more invasive surgical options, mini TMJ treatments are designed to be less intrusive, often involving simple adjustments or the use of dental appliances.

Quick Recovery: Patients can typically return to their daily activities almost immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

Customized Care: Our dental professionals assess each patient's unique situation and tailor treatments to meet individual needs, ensuring the most effective outcomes.

A physical examination of your jaw and bite

Imaging studies, if necessary, to get a clear picture of the joint's condition

2. Diagnosis

Once we have all the information, we’ll diagnose the specific TMJ disorder affecting you. This step is crucial, as it allows us to develop a tailored treatment plan.

3. Treatment Plan

Based on your diagnosis, we will recommend a mini TMJ treatment plan. Options may include:

Oral Appliances: Custom-made mouthguards or splints can help align the jaw and reduce teeth grinding, providing immediate relief.

Physical Therapy: Specific exercises and stretches can strengthen jaw muscles and improve flexibility.

Lifestyle Modifications: We may suggest changes in daily habits, such as stress management techniques, to reduce symptoms.

4. Follow-Up Care

After your initial treatment, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Continuous communication is vital to ensure you’re on the path to recovery.

Having a major tmjd flare up :(

[tonguetie25]

Chronic pain and poor sleep quality have a huge impact on one’s quality of life as they leave you feeling drained and irritable. You might also be less productive at work or may suffer from strained personal relationships. Many conditions can affect your ability to live a pain-free lifestyle and get a good night’s rest one such disorder is the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ/TMD) is not a single disorder but a group of painful conditions that affect your jaw joint and chewing muscles. Because the muscles in your face and jaw are intertwined, if your jaw is misaligned, it can lead to a series of problems from your head to your back and beyond.

Anyways a sincere ‘fuck you’ to both the dentists who I told that my jaw was clicking / kept locking when I ate crunchy foods and replied that I just ‘need to wear my retainer so i dont grind my teeth at night’ bc now it’s gotten so bad that I cant open my mouth properly during/after most meals. Love doctors. Love when my problems are brushed off.

If anyone knows how to help with this (TMJ) please let me know. Most of the time I just try to locate the lock joint with my finger and press on it while eating to prevent my jaw from sliding out of place and locking, but it doesnt work every time unfortunately
