Jaw pain?

[mommarn]

Anyone ever develop TMJ pain during their third trimester? I started waking up with jaw pain just one one side about a week ago and now it's on both sides. Guess I'll be making a trip to the dentist.

Not jaw pain as much as my teeth ache. Around my wisdom teeth.

I have TMJ all the time, even when not pregnant. Obviously going to the dentist is the right route, but getting a mouthpiece in the meantime from Wal-Mart or Walgreens may help ease some of your discomfort. I also put a warm compress on my jaw when it flares up really bad, and take tylenol from the pain.

I had it with my first started around 18 weeks and now with this LO as well, started about 12 weeks. I had a mouth guard made and actually cracked it this time grinding my teeth and the weather was so bad here that my new one was delayed by 2 weeks and I actually cracked a wisdom tooth in half and had to have it pulled. Depending on how much longer you have I would consider getting one made, as my dentist said that the sport guards and ones that aren't designed especially for your teeth can actually move your teeth.

I've had it for the last two weeks now! Sounds like I need to schedule another massage.
