While eating Thanksgiving dinner my jaw closed in a spasm and hard enough that I heard a loud crack. No pain, I couldn't find a fragment of tooth but a crown is gone leaving a sharp spicule of enamel that my tongue won't stop rubbing. Again, no pain so I'm in no hurry to run to the dentist. A friend at Hartford Health has Parkinson's and says his arm shoots out uncontrollably striking his wife. He says it happens periodically and he's moved to a different bedroom. Neurologically, is this a similar event? How to I prevent it happening again? Ask the dentist about a mouth guard? Try MJ edibles?
TIA,
