WHY DOES DR. SHAW CARE SO MUCH ABOUT INTERFERENCES?
The first goal of dentistry is prevention. If one can prevent damage to the teeth, gums or joints, it is far better and less expensive than to repair it. Taking care of interferences before there is damage to teeth or the TMJ is the key to making certain of your long term dental function and health. Dr. Shaw has found that patients often experience a relief of the symptoms of malocclusion once the bite is adjusted, and that his patients have far better results with their restorative dentistry if the bite is adjusted prior to starting treatment.
