dear everyone

The prob i have is when I go to dentist I have a problem opening my mouth wide for him to do anything, if I have to have fillings or anything like that in future will I have to go to hospital to have treatment. Anyone else had this prob?

Hi Sue,
There was a post about this not long ago. I can't remember wot it as called, but it will be page 2 or poss page 3 on the living with forum. If you go on a trawl you should find it. I have the same problem and I found it reassuring that should they need to there was a way it could be done.
Take care.

Hi Sue

I have bumped up an old thread for you about dentists.

Hiya,
I too have the same problem as you due to temperomandibular joint dysfunction and OA in jaw-is that what you have? I can't really help cos I've not yet needed any treatment. My dentist was the one that referred me to a dental consultant because of pain and not being able to open mouth wide-so she's aware of my probs and told me not to worry. She said they'll sort something out 'if and when' I need it. I suppose it would depend on where and what the treatment was. Hope this helps,
