For many years my jaw has often cracked and popped when I ate. As I get older it is doing this more and more. Sometimes, now, it even feels like I have lockjaw. The only solution I’ve ever been given is to break and reset my jaw. Recently I came across your website and started [...]

I just started going to a new dentist. I’ve always been really diligent about taking care of my teeth, in part because both of my parents had terrible teeth, with full upper and lower dentures before they turned 60. I don’t want that, so I floss every single day, and I brush at least twice [...]

My teeth where they meet my gums are quite eroded and abraded. My old dentist always said this was from brushing my teeth too roughly, but he retired and I had to find a new dentist, and she says is probably caused by bruxism. I am not really comfortable with this new dentist and did [...]

I am writing because I am a natural born skeptic, and some advice I recently received sounds a little dicey to me. I’ve been suffering for quite some time with headaches and dizziness. I’ve seen three different doctors in the practice I go to, and they’ve each tried something different, and nothing has worked. Now [...]

Although I just turned 60 yesterday, up until last week I still had all of my wisdom teeth. The fillings in the top two were broken. My dentist said it would actually be easier to remove the teeth than it would be to repair the fillings, so I went ahead and had them pulled. The [...]

I found this blog because I was looking for information about TMJ. I could really use some expert advice, and unlike some of the dentists I have dealt with in the past, your credentials seem impeccable.
Even though I am only in my early thirties, my teeth are a mess. I have a long-standing teeth grinding [...]
