Dr. Majid Alawi
General Dentist
Time to look at the whole jaw, and honesty about what a night guard can do.
Dr. Majid Alawi is a general dentist who gives extra visit time to jaw pain, clenching and worn teeth. He examines the joints and muscles, looks at how your teeth meet, and explains what he finds without guessing at causes outside the mouth.
When a night guard makes sense, he explains how it works and what to watch for. When your symptoms may come from somewhere else, he refers you to a physician, a physical therapist or an orofacial pain dentist and sends his notes along.
