I’d Like To Learn More About Osteoporosis Of The Jar. Is This A Thing? On A Recent Visit To My Dentist, My X-ray Revealed The Cartilage

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Huntersville, NC

After a full jaw X-ray, My dentist told me the cartilage in my jaw is pretty worn.
I am not a tooth grinder or jaw clencher, it just seems to have happened. They recommend a night guard right now but they also mentioned surgery if it progresses. Please provide more info about this. Thank you.
