Oral and maxillofacial diagnosis...

My daughter, who lives independently, had a toothache and received cavity treatment in front of her school.

When I inquired about the ongoing pain afterward

After treatment, the upper and lower teeth did not fit properly, so occlusal therapy was performed.

Still, the pain does not go away again.

They recommended a physical therapy hospital...

Even with twice-weekly physical therapy, the pain does not improve well.

Ultimately, at the university hospital's Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

I have found out the cause...

 

The cartilage disc connecting the skull and the temporomandibular joint is torn, so there are no muscles at all.

I visited four different dental clinics over nearly six months.

I couldn't find the cause at all, so the mental stress was very overwhelming.

I am currently undergoing treatment while wearing a splint for the third week...

 

Even if the specialty is different, is it impossible for general dentistry to understand such situations of patients...?

Moving from the cause and treatment to Medaller Hospital takes up too much time.

I have suffered from pain too much during that time...
