Patient Testimonial
Good Afternoon Dr. Perell.
I’ve been meaning to text you since I got home from the beach.
I wanted to tell you that I feel great. I am eating regular foods now. I have not had TMJ pain for over 3 weeks. Eating pizza and chewing on my right side – pain free.
While at the beach I used warm compresses and I massaged the heck out of my jawline. Using the retainer at night- but will say I forgot it some days while away and now that I feel better. I know I need to continue with this in order for it to stay pain free.
Thank you for all your help. It’s refreshing to have such a caring and on top of things doctor.
Again- thank you.
M.K.L.
