My jaw hurts and makes a slight clicking sound when opening and shutting my mouth.

Most people I know with TMJ have severe issues. Does anyone have slight issues? Just wondering if it could be TMJ.

With TMJ, does your insurance pay for your dental bills because of it's diagnosis? We have dental ins. but for our regular check-up's we covered for 2 a year (6 months apart), and I'm not to go back until summer.

My dentist told me I had TMJ when I told her about my symptoms. She said since it wasnt bad not to do more than keep using the muscle relaxant.

The whole fibro thing started with the TMJ for me, VERY bad pain, like all my other pain it dissapeared as fast and strange as it started.

I had two impacted wisdom teeth, had the last of the two removed yesterday, I am told that can make your jaw hurt so am hopeful that will help me. Do you have wisdom teeth?
