Hello!. While your saying that you have had some sinus issues that may be an issue, but given your other statements about a new job and no insurances I'm thinking you may be dealing with more of a stress issue than anything else!.!.!. We know that high stress comes from one or a combination of these six areas, (1) Money (2) Employment (3) Marriage (4) Health (5) Sex and (6) Self Esteem!.!.!.!.!.WE also know that when one or more of those issue gets the best of you will grit, grind and clinch your teeth!.!.!.Those actions can cause not only simple discomfort in the jaw area but if left untreated and allowed to continue for an extended period of time can cause actual damage to both the teeth and the Jaw joint, much less your emotional system!. If you have had the proper Xrays to check out the jaw joint and everything appears to be alright, I would advise your next appointment be with a professional counselor!.!.!.!. Emotional stress is no different than having a bad appendix!.!.!.they both requires good judgement about seeking out the proper professional care!.!.!.Good luck and I wish you well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
