    I've been getting a locked jaw every so often for the past few months. Sometimes half my face locks up with it. Its quite scary and uncomfortable when it happens. Family members recommend I eat chewing gum and excercise it more. I dunno...do you think this is potentially dangerous? Whats causing it?

    Go to the doc and get a tetnus shot. Chewing gum won't do a thing

    No one here can say what's causing it ... please go to your GP and get expert advice.
