    TMJ pain, right side only
    Hello,
    Just wondering if anyone can provide feedback? I have had TMJ pain, right side only, for about 1 week. It came after I ate a huge pack of Skittles that were a bit stale:o
    How long till I should seek a medical help? Will it subside soon? What is the normal "heal" time. I know these questions are very generic, but it would be nice if some insight was provided.

    Thanks to everyone in advance.

    Unfortunately there really is no 'normal' heal time because resolution is dependent on degree of injury. There are many good dentists that specialize in TMJ disorders. You should be able to find one in your area. How about switching to marshmallows in the future?

    Thanks for your feeback and yes, no more skittles for me. Marshmallows are a great suggestion! Still have the pain and going to contact a dentist tomorrow!
