Waking up with a headache or jaw pain isn’t what most people would call a good morning, yet some people deal with that pain every single day. Sometimes it occurs throughout the day. You might feel the same neck or jaw pain after eating a meal, driving to work, or after a long phone call. […]
People avoid the dental office for any number of reasons, but generally it all boils down to fear of one thing or another. Most of the time, it is fear of pain, but sometimes fear of embarrassment, fear of getting a lecture, or fear of the cost keep patients away. Today, we want to address […]

As we discussed in our previous post, your tooth root is very important to the structure of your jaw.
