To the people who have TMJ?!
Question: how many of you got/developed it from chewing gum too much?
How much did you chew gum, like on the weekly basis, or daily basis?
I dont chew gum everyday, i chew gum maybe 1-3pieces a week, depends, sometimes i go a couple of weeks without gum.
Now i just bought a bubblicious gum pack and i started eatting away at the packet. The packet brings 12packets of gum with 7 pieces inside each. Now i am down to 7 packets. I dont chew gum alot, but i am scared to develop TMJ, since i dont really chew that much gum is there a good chance that i can develop it, and i do planon giveing away some packets of the gum.

I have TMJ and was something that you can't get from chewing gum or eatting foods , its something is within the genes of your family line. And sometime when you have it , it can hurt but not always.
I don't think I got mine from gum chewing. I'd wake up in the mornings with my teeth tightly clinched. I did this for 4 years until I got my appliance.
