Individual Dental Insurance for possible TMJ Issues.
I was up late watching TV when I had yawned, right away I heard my jaw popped. It also felt like it locked up for just a second. I went to my doctor thinking I may have some type of ear infection because I was a little dizzy when I would get up or down. My doctor told me my ears were find.
My ears did seem to clear up but my jaw still would hurt me on and off. I try not to yawn but when I do I have that same popping and catching feeling.  I went back to the doctor who told me to see a dentist for possible TMJ issues.
I looked up online what TMJ is and it seem to fit what is happening to me. Will dental insurance cover for TMJ ?  I do not have dental insurance since I never really needed due to my dentist is a family member and he would always clean my teeth for free. I asked him about it and was told if I do have TMJ he could not help me with it that I would need to see an Orthodontic dentist. Where do I get dental insurance for my possible problem.?
