The Gentle Dentist is Great. The Staff is Great

“The doctor is great. The staff is great. I thought the whole experience was great. The doctor did a filling and it was quick, easy and no pain afterwards. He even called to see how I was doing. I like the music they were playing. I liked the “praying” done by the girls, to get a machine to work…I liked everything about this experience. I am looking forward to getting the rest of my work done by him :)

Shelby Dental Patient Say The Gentle Dentist is Quick and Painless

Had to have major work to replace fillings and rebuild two teeth. The whole process was painless and took just over an hour. Once Dr. Antolak started, he worked until he was finished – without any pauses or breaks to see other patients. I appreciated that greatly.  And it was all painless. I appreciated that as well.

Shelby Dentist: Tension Headache and Poor Bite Treatment.

This patient has been suffering from headaches and has sought treatment from five dentists in the course of two years.  She was told that it was just because she grinds her teeth and they couldn’t do anything for her. Tension  Headaches and migraines are very common when the bite is altered many times with dental procedures and crowns that aren’t adjusted properly.  Missing teeth, crowns, bridges, and even fillings that aren’t properly adjusted after they have been placed will stress the muscles, teeth and TMJ.

The body attempts to alter the shape and size of these restorations but in an attempt to do so the muscles become stressed and this affects the jaw joint and teeth.

Things to look for are:

  • Sensitive teeth especially when waking up.
  • loose teeth
  • headaches which originate from the temporal area on the side of the head.
  • neck pain
  • Migraine pain
  • Clicking in the jaw which leads to jaw pain.
