I saw my dentist the other day for a regular checkup and mentioned that I'd had some spasticity, and that I was noticing that my jaw was kind of clenching a little bit. I have a crack in a tooth (no idea if it's related) and I'm going to get that fixed in a few weeks. She said she could make me a bite guard when she fixes that tooth for me.

She's actually going to finish taking out all the amalgam fillings that I have left in my mouth. She got most of them for me a few years ago before I couldn't emotionally handle any more dental work for awhile. The tooth that has a crack in it is one of those teeth, so she's going to just finish off the amalgam removal. I'm excited, I'll be rid of the nasty mercury. But, I'm also panicking because I hate going to the dentist, and having anyone drilling in my mouth triggers a panic attack for me.

At least now I might have a possible reason for the latest flares. She told me that cracked tooth could potentially have some infection in it. Which might explain the last couple of flares I've had.
