Patient Review

My jaw and teeth were hurting so badly, I did not know what to do. I was ready to have my teeth pulled. My friend recommended Dr. Lama Shoukfeh and she examined me and realized I was clenching my teeth so hard, which was causing my pain.

She did Botox injections (which I barely felt) for my TMJ, followed by a custom-fit bitesplint to open my bite and what a relief!! Within a few days, I was feeling so much better. She explained to me that the Botox is to relax the muscles in the face and then the bite guard helps keep the teeth from exerting unusual amounts of pressure on the teeth. I am relieved and will not sleep without wearing that night guard. Thank goodness for Dr. Shoukfeh and her kind staff!
