Sounds like Theramyuildincide (TYD) a mild form of muscle degeneration.\n\nIt won't kill you, but can leave you with useless limbs as the disease ravages tendons and muscle. \n\nEventually your arm will just hang by your side and will have no real form to it. \n\nI'm sorry. But we've got it early, and there are medical advancements every day in this field. Please don't give up, don't give up hope...

Sure - very possible.  Teeth don't like trauma - the only part of the tooth that is alive is the nerve (or pulp).  WHen it dies, bacteria begin to build up inside the tooth.  Eventually it will destroy the apex (or tip of the root) and begin destroying the bone around the tooth.  When enough pressure builds up, a pimple like sore will show up on the gum tissue near the root of the tooth.  It will (hopefully) pop allowing the pressure to escape and the puss flow into the patient's mouth.  (yea - I know it's gross, but I couldn't think of a better way to say it). \nBad breath is usually caused by bacteria.  In this case, the bacteria inside and around the decaying pulp (nerve) of the damaged tooth is what smells.  To reso,ve the issue, the nerve must be removed.  In very late stages of this process, the tooth may be too far gone and unsavable.  Better to treat as soon as possible to avoid damaging the jaw bone, surrounding teeth, and possibly even a systematic (whole body) infection due to increased bacteria count.\n\nIf she does need to remove the tooth, there are great replacements available.  We can use a partial denture - which was more pobular in the past or with low income people.  Or you could use a bridge with is a fixed in place semi-permemant solution that looks like real teeth!\n\nHappy Thanksgiving - and happy eats!

I get this sometimes, but it's linked to my sinuses.\nI have allergies, and if they get bad, I'll get the aching in my jaw.\n\nNot a cavity if it's not around teeth.

Tooth  movement can definitely occur as you get older and you loose the tone in your lips 60s and beyond.  The tongue can push it out.  If you are younger, 40ish, I would really suspect eriodontal disease, when you loose enough bone its like a deck of cards collapse begins to occur rapidly.

Degenerative disease is, in fact not a real disease. It is a process of wear and tear that occurs with ageing in virtually all individuals. It is also referred to as osteoarthritis, arthrosis and spinal arthritis. The joint surface may become eroded and the gristle or cartilage that lines the joint is no longer smooth but pitted. This results in pain and inflammation occurring with movement. In addition to this there is a process of thickening in the ligaments around the joints as well, a gradual deformity of the joint itself rather like the end of a stick that has been hit with a mallet. The result is a splaying out of the joint surface and this edge of bone (osteophytes) causes a characteristic appearance with apparent swelling and enlargement of the joint itself. In addition to these changes, the joint may become inflamed with redness heat and swelling with accompanying pain. Typically the inflammation comes on overnight once the joint is rested and gradually wears off as the joint gets moving.

No, and one more thing not mentioned...you can introduce very nasty germs into your body doing that.  That is a sign of anorexia nervosa and people have died from that.  Eat healthy foods and get some exercise to stay thin and healthy.  If you do stick your finger down your throat to stay thin, you may get thin but then everyone will be looking at your rotten teeth!

I know exactly what you're talking about, but I don't know the cause.  From talking to family members, I believe it's normal.\n\nJaw clicking, popping, and locking are symptoms of Temporo-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction, or TMJ.

Your lower jaw has an arm called the condyle that rises up and hinges just under the ear.  This is called the Temporal-Mandibular Joing TMJ.  If your cavity/ies is so large that the tooth has worn down in theory this could cause your bite to change and you would have problems with your jaw joint.  Your ear popping would most likely be accompned by a very loud clicking, popping noise everytime you open or close.  If you have a lot of swelling from an infected tooth it can spread up to your ear and your life could be at risk, but you would feel really bad right at the moment.  If you don't have the above symptoms then, most likely there is no relation right now.

Bar fruit otherwise known as Barrington's fruititis is a little known condition that affect only 1.2% of all poultry raised in the US.  Though authorities estimate in less developed countries, the rate can be as high as 8%. \n\n Symptoms of this debilitating disease, include the turning on of the gene that causes the teeth to form in the mouth of the poultry.  While in Flightless birds this has almost no impact, in species such as hummingbirds and hawks, the teeth alter their body weight to such an extent that they become flightless and easy prey.
