My implants and caps and false teeth are a result of some bad dental work.  Now I have other problems such as tendinitis and tmj disorder.  Can anything be done. I am 70 and  want to be able to smile. The grinding bones in my jaw are scary. There is numbness around my mouth.

Dr. Slota: Yes Myrna, something can be done.  You need to have  someone with neuromuscular dental knowledge treat you.
