Dentistry/TMJ in NYC

Question
Hi...saw one of your posts.  I emailed Dr. Rozenberg and am waiting for his response.

Are you in NYC?  Can you recommend other Doctors, an accupuncturist, masseuses, etc. who can help?

THanks!

Answer
Dear Scott:  I have gotten great results from  Dr. Kim Tsao,  an accupuncturist, who practices in NYC and also in Great Neck (L.I.). I also used a physical therapist who specializes in TMJ.  She is in New Hyde Park, L.I.  The ultrasound helped the most with her, and also her suggestions for excersizes, and lastly,  her knowledge of TMJ's side effects, such as pain coming up in other areas,( like the teeth and gums, which cause unecessary tooth extractions).  If  you are having pain in a specific area, or tooth, she can trace it to a specific muscle in your face/jaw.  

If you need their telepone numbers, contact me.  I'm pretty sure they are both listed.
Good Luck,\ suellito2@earthlink.net

I AM NOT A DENTIST!!!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD BE ANSWERED BY A DENTAL PROFESSIONAL..but I have had TMJ so I can answer questions on how I finally got my TMJ under control. I have several things I have done to treat myself, plus suggestions on what professionals to seek out, exercises, the best nightguard devices, etc..

Experience

I've had TMJ for over six years.
