Question:
I was just told I had it, I been having very bad spasms in my jaw, neck and back. My insurance wont cover the TMJ specialist because they say it's medical not dental. Does that make sense? How are you being treated? Thanks!
Answers:
the doctor i went to --put me on 800 mg of ibuprofen three times a day for two weeks..told me it would make the swelling and pains go away..they also told me to see a dentist if it did not improve...mine got better...i do not have insurance either..i would try the ibuprofen and see it might help you:)
My brother has been treated for TMJ. You need a new insurance because our insurace payed for everything because it IS dental. We have allstate, maybe try switching to them, and if you have them, seriously talk to them because it is serious. Good Luck!!
