Case Description
My wife has been in severe pain for the past few weeks, to the point where she finally went to the hospital emergency room. The doctor there looked in her ear for about 10 seconds and pronounced TMJ. Honest, 10 seconds. He told us we need a dentist. She seems to have symtoms from TMD but she also seems to have infection systoms such as, it gets much worse at night to the point where she is screaming from the pain and slight temperature. Can anyone help us before night time gets here again? Please!

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
