I am excited to announce that “Take a Bite Out of Pain: A Journey to Overcoming Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD)” is now available for purchase! This new educational book is a great gift for a friend or family member suffering from pain, or even to display at your office for your patients.
This book is available for purchase at Lulu.com and will soon be available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
What is it about?
I wrote this book in collaboration with Sara Berg. She has been writing for me for almost five years now and this is our second book together. We decided to write about pain and TMD to better educate patients on these symptoms and what to do. As dentists, we are in a unique position to help our patients feel better.
To help you better understand what the book is about, here is a brief description:
“Pain should never be ignored. Whether it is pain in your jaw, or what seems like a headache, don’t ignore the discomfort. Ignoring pain would be a waste of time, leading to further complications with your health.
Search for the underlying cause of your pain with help from qualified dentists that treat such cases. Finding the source of your nagging pain will help you continue on with your daily activities—hopefully eliminating any discomfort present.
Don’t just “put up with” pain—seek proper treatment. Pain is a complex and complicated symptom tuned by your brain, as it triggers every painful sensation. Are you just going to sit there and wish the pain away? No, absolutely not.
Educate yourself on the cause or causes, and treatment options. Pain isn’t a singular problem, it can be so much more.”
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and I hope that you utilize this book to help your patients before, during or after their visits to your office!
