Anyone in the dental field NEEDS to read this book.

Additionally, anyone who suffers from chronic headaches, migraines, or TMJ disorder ABSOLUTELY MUST to read this book.

An excellent book about the problems of TMJ diagnosis and treatment. It was convincing enough that I am now a patient of Dr. Abeles.

What a strange, strange book.

The reason I finished this is because of the wake-up call about chronic pain and the perils of only addressing the symptoms and not root causes. I also appreciated Dr. Abeles' warnings about the cost of doing nothing for any current TMJ pain one experiences. That said, the rest of the book was pretty bad:

- I got the distinct feeling that this was self-published without an editor.
- There are no sources or citations whatsoever, which is problematic considering what was asserted. As a doctor writing about medicine, I expect citations. We should ALL expect citations.
- Dr. Abeles goes on and on about himself and only loosely tied it back to a point.
- There's bizarre formatting and almost no consistency in writing style.
- For a book that focuses on jaw pain, there wasn't a single diagram!!!
- There was a chapter that outlined the types of specialists someone can go to for help (this was good), followed by a detailed chapter about how spending lots of money at his special clinic is the right way to address TMJ (not so good).

All in all - if you are someone who needs a wake up call, perhaps give this a read. But I would take the messages provided with a hefty dose of skepticism.
