    Bre- take some advil- that will help with the soreness and swelling.
    I have TMJ which can lock open at anytime in the exam- and the release is very painful. I hate going to the dentist..

    I'll join the club. Every year I postpone going to the dentist until I couldn't anymore, then I would go, but feel very forced, and absolutely hateeeeeeeee it!





    Thanks ~Jessie~

    Yea- thats what makes it so stiff and easy to swell. I have found taking advil like 600 mg ( alias 3 200 mg) ( check with your doctor) before procedures really helps.

    I had to take my oldest brother to the dentist one time and I was ever so impressed with a sign that they had on the wall.... "We Cater To COWARDS!"
