Parkinson teeth clenching & jaw locking
 
Hi, I'm new to NeuroTalk and I hope I'm sending this correctly.
When a get stressed or tired, my teeth start to clench and my jaw begins to lock, which makes talking very difficult. Has anyone else experienced this with Parkinson. If so, do you know what can be done about it?
Thanks, Bdrinkwater0731

Maybe oromandibular dystonia
 
Google "oromandibular dystonia parkinson's"

There's some interesting YouTube videos. I have this from time to time (and I'm not on meds)... It's like biting into a lemon - tongue and jaw/mouth clench up. And stress related. If I watch funny comedy movie - it goes away:)

Good luck with yours and welcome to NT!
