    Chronic pain after a dental surgery = tms?

    My father had his teeth done about 18 months ago. I've gotta say, I don't know much about dental surgery, but he's had no mercury and no amalgam, he just has very white teeth now.

I know this woman (who will remain anonymous of course), and I also know that she began suffering lower back problems 30 years...
