Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ), Are Your Kids Biting off More Than They Can Chew?

Tuesday, Jan. 22nd 2013 12:21 PM

Today’s super sized burgers and sandwiches that are being sold regularly, may just be too big to eat.  Many burgers and sandwiches are often made larger then the human mouth (Especially for kids who have smaller mouths then adults). This over sizing of food,  is forcing many people to take bites that are too big to chew.

According to the Academy of General Dentistry, taking large bites into burgers and sandwishes can be harmful to your jaw and teeth.  People at a particular risk are those that have temporomandibular joint disorder. (know as TMJ) TMJ can restrict the range of acceptable bite size. People who have TMJ should avoid opening their mouths too wide, since taking large bites of food can aggravate the condition.
