Dental Resources
Dental Implant Resources
American Academy of Periodontology.
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.
TMJ Resources
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.
