Last week's syndicated column talked about treatment for TMJ.

I wrote her a letter saying it was a good article on a difficult
subject.  I disagreed that occlusion was not involved.  I told her to
get a second opinion from aes-tmj.org.   I told her I can give people
tmj problems by making a crown too big.   I also told her that tmj
problems were an early sign of fibromyalgia.  I noted that it is
mostly women who get fibromyalgia just as 90% of tmj patients are women
(that is what she claimed in the article).  I would not agree that up
to 90% of women get tmj problems.     Resting the jaw is important.
