Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2005Wine Bottle Cork And NTI Have In Common?
I'm reading this book, "You. The owners manual." One of the physician authors, in one chapter says, if someone should have TMJ pain, or headaches related to, rest a cork inbetween your teeth for a little while. They say this will relieve pain associated with by relaxing the musculature involved with your jaws. Thoughts? Of course, they both do the same thing, but I'd hate to aspirate or swallow a cork. >I'm reading this book, "You. The owners manual." > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Thoughts? Many people use a marshmallow rather than an NTI. I read it at sci.med.dentistry. >Of course, they both do the same thing, but I'd hate to aspirate or >swallow a cork. What about a Lego? >I'm reading this book, "You. The owners manual." > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Thoughts? This is excellent therapy for people that are too big for their britches. I frequently recommend the cork and snap a ditial photo of them lookin' ridiculous. Then I post it all over the internet and on men's room walls in bus stations all over the east coast.

Few of us have spent much time in such places.. is this a hobby;) I cannot comment because i am laughing too hard. On a serious note though.. I REALLY need to stick to my business and not get caught up in dental board dramatics. I was getting too caught up in trying to figure out why half my posts were being deleted on DT ... I got a bit insane trying to figure it out and almost TRASHED my whole life over that. I do not wish to repeat my mistakes. So I will be in here once in awhile.. but not too much. Amatus, sorry I yelled. OK. Much later then. Have fun. Share some good info and other good stuff, Sue > I'm reading this book, "You.

Much better to uncork full wine bottle and put bottle opening between lips.

Sue Dr Shad Does that treatment include drinking the entire bottle of wine first? Sue _________________________ If the cork is missing, you wouldn't want the wine to spoil, would you? ;-) Seriously -- with a 20mm cork between the teeth, I think the darn strain from the increased vertical dimension would drive the patient crazy. Why do you suppose we don't use 20mm high discluding elements on NTI's? - dentaldoc > Why do you suppose we don't use 20mm high discluding elements on NTI's? > > - dentaldoc I think it is because we don't want the patients to start thinking that maybe holdin' a 20mm cork between the teeth would be a better solution. Then again, I think a lot of things... "It's the saaaaamme old wine... In a brand new bottle..." L&M SP SignatureTake out the TRASH to reply So are you guys serious? Is this a serious treatment? I usually just take moist, hot towels and place them on my temples... This helps. And also stay away from stressful situations if possible.. Gravitate toward pleasant situations whenever possible.. -Sue PS And I am not talking trash, so nobody even go there ...ok? >So are you guys serious? Is this a serious treatment?

A couple-a situations where I need my NTI: Sleeping, unless I want a stiff neck in the mornin' Driving, 'specially when I'm late. Programming MicroRats Excel Watching the Tube (w/o exaggeration: maybe six times per year) Watching a movie with my kids. Difficult treatments at the chair side. Waiting on the phone. Sitting in those small seats in an airplane. There is no way to avoid stressful situations. The key is to manage them well.
