Suggest Treatment For TMJ
I had TMJ 20 years ago. I quit smoking and started grinding my teeth in my sleep. After wearing a mouthpiece I was fine after a short time. Now for some reason I have the same symptoms. Ringing in my ears, dizziness, nausea and sometimes my jaw hurts. I have been sleeping with a mouth peace but nothing is working. Any ideas and remedies would be gtreatly appreciated. I have doctors appointments lined up but not for a while.

Hi,
Consult a dental surgeon and get evaluated.
An MRI scan is required to assess the functional status.
As of now, avoid excessive mouth opening and forceful chewing.
You can also take muscle relaxants like Baclofen for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
