Hi Dawn, that is good news though. At least its one more thing you can take off your list. How accurate is the cavitat scan?

Anyway, it does seem that Dr Austin did a thorough job and the bone has been able to grow over those areas properly.

TMJ doesn't sound too good at all. HOw long has that gone on for? And have you made sure that your dental materials are not too high? Sometimes they need to be adjusted a bit so they don't upset the bite and cause jaw problems.

I refused to leave my dentist until everything was completely right, level and I could bite properly without feeling that they were too high etc. Or I would go back and make him adjust it.

I also found that toxins migrated often into my jaw for various reasons and would leave my jaw out of alignment and it would lock up and I could often not open it properly. That happened a number of times.

anyway, best wishes on finding a good TMJ specialist and hopefully he/she will fix this ongoing problem.
