gefen -“Health: Do you know why the dental blocks are not recommended anymore?”
Ladies & Gents of the Jury – I present to you Exhibit A:
“Hello Kitty –
3- When you go to a dentist make sure that he is experienced and knows what hes doing. I went to a few dentists already and most of them just make you a guard and are NOT TMJ specialists. These night guards made my TMJ worse.”
Btw, if you go to a Doc, like in the ER and you get injected -you probably won’t need to deal with this again. OTOH, if you brux (grind teeth) or have other anxiety or orthodonic problems, this might be chronic. You’ll have to treat the cause of the problem. Bruxism is usually caused by anxiety. Anxiety is treated with therapy and/or drugs. But I’d wager that this is your first time and getting injected will make it all disappear. After the injection, you can read any book you want to and it might help prevent a re-occurance.
