My Life With Temporomandibular (TMJ)

About the Book

It is amazing how one trip to the wrong Dentist, can change your whole life for the worse, forever. This book began with my worse nightmare. (1) Had A wisdom tooth surgically removed (2) Mouth lock down immediately after removal, (3) What did I look like when I came out, a Monster. I went from state to state trying to get help and there was none for three years. By this being back in the 80’s not many doctors/dentists knew much about TMJ or what to instruct you to do. They thought you were out of your mind and called it “the greatest imposter”.?? I stayed six weeks in house at Ochsner Foundation physiatrist unit, learning to live with pain.
