  • Breathing good, TMD bad

    Refreshing to hear discussions about the connection between airway and TMD issues. So many problems could be prevented with simple education for parents and kids. Imagine a world where dentists and primary care physicians shared this valuable information from day one. Thanks for bringing awareness!

    Please thoroughly research TMD devices before agreeing to one. These devices can eventually push your teeth out of the bone causing irreversible damage.
