Billions of dollars are spent annually for many doctor, clinic, hospital, or therapist visits. Pain sufferers will do and pay anything for some hope of relief. If you are a typical TMJ sufferer, you probably have. Don't blame family members. They must rely on doctors' opinions.
Doctors rely on what they have been taught.

Some, sadly, step over the brink. Head, facial, neck and even ear pain have many different causes. For over seventeen years I have practiced dentistry, with my primary efforts being directed toward the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ and related pain.
