From Library Journal
A dentist who specializes in treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), Taddey has written a very readable book discussing TMJ's symptoms, causes, and treatment. He provides insight to the suffering of an estimated 60 million Americans (about 20 percent of the U.S. population), and he includes chapters on nutrition, stress management, coping, and how to live a "normal life." The book is well illustrated and has a glossary of medical terms to help the lay reader. Recommended for libraries with demand for self-help and consumer education books.

Library Journal, September 1, 1990".... The lay reader, however, will appreciate the straightforward explinations, recommendations, and vignettes of fellow sufferers such as Bert Renolds. If I was a patient, exhausted by replicated studies and puzzled looks from the medical community, I would feel deep gratitude for Dr. Taddey's attempt to deminish my confusion and empower me with useful information." --
