Dr. Holt did help relieve my pain and symptoms. After a prolong time of treatment he finally gave me a special treatment done in his office that greatly reduced the inflammation, thus reducing my pain considerably.
However, I had an upper back moler that broke through my splint, yet he never examined the cause. Years later, a perfectly health lower moler was cracked by the sharp projection part of the same upper moler. I ended up having a root canal on the lower moler performed by another dentist who also filed down the sharp upper moler. Having the upper moler filed eliminated my pain & inflammation.
