How do you get t.m.j?
Some causes of TMJ are teeth grinding & clenching, habitual gum chewing/fingernail biting, dental problems & teeth misalignment. Don't clench your jaw, grind your teeth, or chew on your nails and you will prevent TMJ.

About Teeth
Teeth are small, white structures made of calcium that are found in the jaw bone of animals and humans. The shape of an animal's teeth determine what that animal eats. Herbivores eat plants, which are hard to digest. As a result they have a mouth full of molars to grind and chew their food. Carnivores eat meat, so their teeth are designed to kill prey and rip flesh. Humans are omnivores, so we have a little of both.
