Hi hope you are all keeping safe…
I was first diagnosed during the first lockdown, so relatively new to this.
Recently my Sinmet has been increased and I seem to have developed a tongue twitch and some times it feels like I am jaw clenching. My main worry is the effect on my teeth and it also causes some earache ( feels like water in my ear).
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this too.

Thank you all for your info.
Appears to be tongue spasms, trying just to relax and keeping diary to try recognise when happens, in relationship to Sinmet doses. X
Hi MaggieC, I clench my teeth together and saw my dentist because I was chipping them.She suggested a gum shield to use at night time. It did the trick. The only thing is, it is cheaper to buy private than get one on the NHS. I hope this is helpful
I’ve got oral dyskinesia and it’s annoying
I’ve got an upper plate which I need to take out at times
I’m very self conscious of it but my GP didn’t notice till 8 told her😁
Me too - I have had PD since 2007 and this started around 4 months ago and yes it has effected me teeth - all top ones have broken and in the process of having a plate fitted. Seeing Neurologist next month will bring it up with him (if the appointment happens). Have dry mouth too - I have got some gums from Chemist which help for a while then my mouth is very dry - makes my tongue very sore. Not had earache though.

If you explain the problem to your dentist they will make a mouth guard or buy online
Hi people 
Thanks for all your comments x
Since seen my dentist and discussed mouth guard, as it’s settled down a little I am waiting to review again in next few months. My Neurologist basically said probably a side effect of Sinmet, so something to live with. My daughter who has taken all kinds of drug for depression / mood disorder used to have similar jaw / lip twitching so not that unique.
Stay safe out there
