it feels like - eating a cake - 1 small mouthfull - ouch - jaw suddenly hurts!!

why? what is it

ages ago i asked my dentist - he said it was stress - but it comes and goes randomly

Answer 1

Stress can be random -  

Answer 2

It could be TMJ related or possibly a salivary gland problem.  If the condition persist or worsens, discuss this more thoroughly with your dentist.

Additional information:  Usually when there is pain while eating sweets it involves decay.  Pain during mastication is a TMJ condition that is treatable but isn't related to eating sweets, thus my thoughts on a salivary gland problem.

Answer 3

Sounds like a TMJ problem.

Answer 4

Probably related to the TMJ The temporo mandibular joint

Ask a cranio sacral therapist for help

go through the Upledger Institute to find your therapist

It could also be that you need a pterigoid release

you can have that with a polarity practitioner

go to the APTA website

good luck

Answer 5
