This is the master site for the American Academy of
Periodontology. Here you will find articles and information about
dental implants, gum disease, general oral health
considerations, and many other related subjects.
Prosthodontics Intermedica
This nice website has a wealth of information about
dental implants, snoring, bone grafting, orthodontics, and
many other related subjects. Oral cancer and
smoking, and their relationship to the success of dental implants,
is also covered.

A very useful resource for more information about TMJ
can be found at www.tmj.org.
This Web site is dedicated exclusively to TMJ conditions and treatment
solutions.
Another excellent resource is The
American Academy of Craniofacial
Pain at
www.aacfp.org. This Web site has a ton of information on TMJ and TMD.
And, for those who don't live near our Mountain View, California dental
office, there is a directory of other dentists worldwide whom you
may contact for an examination.
An herbal product called Serenitol
www.serenitol.com
is available for systemic relief. This supplement is designed to relax
muscles and is apparently useful for TMJ and sleep disorders such as
snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
Another product, TheraFlex TMJ
www.nabobrx.com is
now available for muscle relaxation and TMJ relief. I have not used this
with any patients yet, but am meeting with the sales representative soon
and will have a full report.
