i totally get dizzy and my gums get cold and sore. I am slowly grinding my teeth away, by 40 i prob will have none!
My dentist gave me a mouth gaurd, but I can't sleep with it.
Good luck! hang in there

Vertigo---dizzness yes yes yes have to watch when i turn around if turn to fast or go from stooping to standing up to quick i could land on the floor hate that feeling.

I am also having the dizziness. My doctor could not figure it out so i have been through every test under the sun and they found NOTHING. so now i am beginning to wonder if it could me tmj. My Denist told me when i was 18, which was 17 years ago, that i was grinding my teeth really bad and gave me a mouth gaurd. i guess i did not take it to seriously (should have) well three years ago they took my wisdom teeth and since then i have had problems... i cant beleive i have never thought of this and never told my doctor this.. i will be telling her this.. so please help me.. what do we do for the DIZZINESS? i thought i had a brain tumor.. i feel like i am just going to fall over.. yikes..i dont like it at all, and i am sure none of you do.. also what do you do for the sore jaw.

I can totally relate to the dizziness. I was told that I did have a brain tumor and was sent to a neurologist. Thank God it turned out that I didn't have one after all. Then I was told it was just vertigo and to just live with it. It wasn't until recently that my dentist told me that the dizziness was caused by my TMJ. But, never told me if there was anything that I could do for it. I have been grinding my teeth for so long that I had so many broken that had to be removed. I have two more that need work and then my dentist will work on my mouth to fill in the empty spaces. I hate to go anywhere because I'm mising teeth. I can't wait until this is all done. I too, have a night guard, but at times I wake up in the morning with it on the night stand. Guess it irritates me and I remove it and don't remember it. If anyone knows what to do about the dizziness...I'd love to hear it too.

Well i don't know if this is going to help ppl who are dizzy or not but it has helped me...

I have had dizzness since i have had this problem with tmj

Since ihave been drinking ROSEHIPS TEA two cups per day the dizzness is not so bad my headackes when i get them go away faster, its loaded with vitimines A_C_D_E helps prevent utis,bladder and kidney infections too and helps detox the system...

You can buy this at health food stores and some food markets have it too...all ican say is try it and see if it helps you like it has me.

I get dizzy with the headaches

I wake up in the morning and my jaw is sore and yes my teeth feeling really heavy; however, the cold does not bother my teeth.. do you wear a mouth gaurd? i got one from my dentist and it does help somewhat... hope your doing better..

I do wear a mouthguard/splint 24/7. It helps some. I cannot go without it. I wake up with sore muscles.

yes these are common symptons of tmj ! as are headaches,sore eyes,pins and needles in neck,neck stiffness,arm and shoulder pain,usually on the one side ! i wish u well ! hope i've been helpfull,does'nt sound good though ? glyn.

yeah, really, it's too bad I can't find something to help more.

tmj i don't have problems of the coldness with my teeth but many times feels like i have toothackes that i don't even have due to tmj that feeling can last for hours or days depending on how bad the tmj acts up.

so dizzy!!! Antivert helps a little. Not throwing up anymore, but perpetually "car sick".

Yes and light headed as well as very sensitive teeth. Also, the nerves in my jaw and gums seem to be wired all wrong so dental work is quite painful and shots of novocaine are never enough. I have to get acupuncture the day before and then nitrous oxide.

Did you know that TMJ can cause ringing in the ears (tinitis)? Mine's more of a loud hum. It also causes itchy ears, too. And of course, neck, shoulder and arm pain.

yes i get dizzy. Old news huh but i do. And it is very debilitating for me. I hate it! they want to give me a MRI. I'm such a worry wart thinking I have a brain tumor. That can not be the case I have a 5 and 5month old that needs me...
Candy

yes, and im constantly nauseated due to the dizziness, the doctor's havnt found anything wrong (SO many tests!!) i'll have to suggest this to them!
