I'm new to this forum..any forum as matter of fact. 30 years ago my dentist removed all my mercury fillings and lo and beholf no TMJ. I paid (fiancially) dearly for all sorts of 'cures'. He lost his license because one of his "new patients' was a gov't agent. he was also using homeopathy for pain, etc. Fortunately he was smart enough to hire other cooperative dentists to continue his paractise.
Still, too many people are truating of dentists.
