Lights at the Dentist

Actually not so much a dentist I saw, but more of an orthodontist as well as a surgeon who specialises in facial surgery.

That might sound all very serious, but I was advised to see all these specialist people by my usual simple easy-going dentist because I’ve developed a case of chronic, good old TMJ disorder.

I left this place at 7.10pm! I must be going mad. What am I doing at a place like this at 7pm on a Friday night?!

I have no idea what they were waffling about. I have to go back again on Wednesday when these doctors - specialists - will decide what to do about my annoyingly aching jaw joint.

At least I managed to get a capture of their rather pretty staircase lights while being escorted from room to room.

What a palaver.
Well, you got a great shot for you trouble! I don't know if you're into chiropractic, but that can help with tmj too.

Love the perspective. Hope everything works out.

I’ve never heard of that. Hope it’s not too painful. This is a beautiful shot.

Lovely lights and POV!

How concerning for you. At least you had your camera with you for some light relief....

You don't hear the word 'palaver' much these days. I associate it with my mum from NW England. Portuguese origin according to the OED.

Interesting POV. Sorry you're having this problem. I hope the treatment plan is simple.

Thanks, Ann! Chiro can help with this? I didn’t even think of that, but sure thing, I’ll see a chiropractor - we have some very good ones here. Thanks for the heads up, really appreciate it!

Poor you! Who likes going to the dentist :( ? At least the lamps are great.

First time to know what is the TMJ disorder. Me too, I visited dentist yesterday. Not so bad with the result.

Great shot. I like the POV. Hope you get your problems sorted

@cocokinetic I hope it works for you. I do not have it, but someone I knew in the past did and that's how they were treating it because they didn't want to be bound to a medication. Do some research on line and talk to the ones in your area you think are good- I hope it works because I know how painful it can be!

I hope you can get it sorted soon.

Thank you all very much - I had never heard of this condition before until I had no option but to hear about it. That jaw joint made it loud and clear.
I greatly appreciate all your well-wishes.
