Oh, heavens, don't be ;-) The problem is simply that I
had too many large teeth in a small mouth. Yes, folks,
there are a number of professionals out there, who
will swear _I_ have a small mouth ;-)

And if you think about it, that's something I'd much
rather have to deal with than things like diabetes,
heart problems, or food allergies. Believe me, I
consider myself well off, as far as health goes ;-)

Yeah, TMJ, or one of its manifestations. I know it
hurts, and as he said, it will hurt like Hell for a
few days, but if you can tough it out, after that
things will stretch to where they need to be, and
you'll be feeling a lot better faster than you think
;-)

I'm rooting for you- been, if not quite there, in
similar situations.
