Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I experienced something like this treatment. The procedure was to open my mouth. It was out-patient. Put in dental chair and given sometype of general anesthesia (sp). Dentist used a tool which is formed like a duck's bill. It's inserted between teeth and wratched (sp?) to put pressure on joint to allow mouth to open wider. I hope I'm not misleading you and your dentist had another procedure in his mind. K.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate the info. I have to check back with him next week (phone call) on my progress with the sinus infection I have and I will certainly ask him what he has in mind if it comes to that. > > I experienced something like this treatment.
