I have TMJ and it is steadily getting worse. I can still eat and chew but it is starting to hurt alot more every day. Any advice on a particular Dentist to see or treatments to seek would be great!

go to your dentist, or have him refer you to one who specializes in that area of expertise.

clenching of the jaw especially during sleep; also a sort of stress symptom...thought i had repeated ear infections untill doctor advised a dental vist for them to checkout...are there loss of back teeth as well...also untill you can get to dentist or if the applaiance they may want you to get is affordable try this....goto the sporting good store and get a football mouth guard; the one you boil to get a personal fit and try sleeping with it... will cause a perfect allignment and relieve the clenching...also a boxers mouth guard will help
