Kate's Fear of TMJ

When I was little, I was scared of dying from Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMD or TMJ. It's a condition where your jaw gets sore and stiff. I used to think that I would get it and not be able to eat and then I would slowly die from starvation. Now that I'm older, I know that TMJ is not life-threatening, but I still have no desire to get it! I wanted to talk about tips and tricks, and about oral health care in general since I've already done a lot of research. If you have questions, I hope you find them here! Thanks for stopping by.
