dentist opinion and my teeth/ jaw?

Question:

I have seen several dentists Two of them I am used to seeing,but I have a problem one is saying that I have tmj.At first I was all wired up and upset and I believed him and now I am kinda not believing him.He hadnt seen my mouth yet when he said it ,he had only a glance at my exrays ,and also I dont have the symptoms like popping.My jaw is uncomfortable but I had three crowns put in a while back.I also have tounge thrust so my bites always slightly off.Now I am woundering why he said this.I dont know who to trust anymore.Does anyone have any opionions on this issue.

Answers:
i am no dentist. but you could be grinding your teeth at night. and have been for a while which is very normal. i have done it all my life and well i have an actual problem. Do you ever get head aches near your temples? are your teeth worn down or seem chiped on the jaws like kinda rough when you run your tounge on them? does your jaw seems very tence and/or ache? you could also be clenching in your sleep. i mean all those symtoms may not be present and you could still be grinding. ask a dentist they will be able to see that you are grinding very easy. the only thing to pervent this is a mouth gaurd and they are expencive. if you have any questions about grinding feel free to ask me

Other Answers:
Getting another opinion is always a great idea. If you're still feeling insecure about the two differing opinions, get another.

Some people practicing dentistry graduated at the bottom of their class. They're not all great.
