I've only seen Dr. Balshaw once in the entire year. That one time I was complaining of severe pain and sensitivity in a back lower molar. I thought the tooth was cracked and needed a root canal and crown. After all, I have 4 other teeth that had root canals so why not one more! Dr. Balshaw was certain that I was just grinding my teeth at night and to start wearing my night guard (which I never wore). I thought it couldn't be that easy, but tried it anyway. He told me to give it 2 weeks and the pain and sensitivity would go away. Well, wouldn't you know he was right!! After about 2 weeks the pain was almost gone and after 3 weeks it was like I had a brand new tooth! If only I had known this in past years I probably wouldn't have ended up having 4 root canals done. Dr. Balshaw saved me a lot of pain, time and money with one simple solution.
