Baby teeth as an adult and TMJ.
Hello. My TMJ symptoms have recently improved thanks to postural correction and exercising, but I have a query about baby teeth as an adult and any possible connection with TMJ. I was recently told by a dentist that I had a baby tooth (second molar) and it was badly infected. There is little pain and my extraction has been scheduled for next week, but I wonder if any other TMJ sufferers have had a similar experience. My bite is badly misaligned. Could this have been worsened by the baby tooth? Has any one else had baby molars and could they share their experience here? Thanks to all.
