Re: Sue's campaign of misinformation

IME, it's hard enough to get a patient to realize that they
are clenching in the first place.  Trying to say that they
are stressed out, neurotic, and wound too tight isn't going
to sit very well with them (even if it's true).

Not that I never mention stress and relaxation.  I just don't
bombard them with the notion that they can fix all of their
problems by screwing their head on straight.

If you like what the DT dentists say, why are you here?
I know if I liked DT, that's where I would be.

(As per the dentists located on DT , anyway).  Your idea makes perfect
sense to me.


See what I mean about the chessy platitudes. You could suggest that a primary clencher bang their foot three times with a hammer before going to bed to help their nocturnal parafunction and she would say "your idea makes perfect sense to me".
