Dear Dr Katz

Thank you soooooo much! As far as my Botox (Dentox) is concerned...it took about 3 weeks for my headaches to go away.
WOW...am I ever amazed!  On a scale from 1-10..I was still having headaches daily at around 4-5, (with Occasional MIgraines) which use to be 10+ everyday before I was able to stabalize my bite/opening with my ortho/and Crown onlays.

Now I have to say I have a minimal headache daily of 1-2, sometimes 0 which I have rarely experienced in a very long time!!!
I am SO happy about the headaches...so unreal!!! I am so glad I have found something that finally WORKS!

THANKS again for all your help.

 Joleen ............, RDA
