Case Description
Displacement of left Articular disc, disc has slid forward and the left condyle is displaced posteriorly in the glenoid fossa. Ok I really don't know what any of this means except pain. The pain is mostly in my neck and ear,I always feel like I have an ear infection, I don't. Also very limited in how wide I can open my month,always need a bite block when having dental work done.
I have really good X-rays and written report. I have seen one dentist about this problem he said "I know it hurts and for $XXXX.XX I will make you a splint that might help. Not very helpful. I don't even know what kind of dentist I should be seeing about this. Thanks for any help. Cyn

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
