Hi Everyone, I'm Priya Mistry - the TMJ doc. Welcome back to my channel! Today's video
is one that I've been so excited to do, because I'm finally doing a Giveaway! I'm doing a
free, personal Giveaway that's at no cost to any of the participants. I bought all the
prizes myself and I'm not affiliated with any of these companies or sponsored by any
of them. A few rules - you must be 18 years or older and in the continental United States
to enter. To enter, you must: 1) Subscribe to my YouTube channel, 2) Comment on this
video below with something that you learned from any of my videos, or just something that
you liked, something that you learned, some comment about any of my videos and 3) You
must follow be on Instagram. The winner will be announced on Friday, February 5th and the
winner will be drawn by a random generator to keep things fair and keep things equal
and once a winner is picked, this winner will be contacted by YouTube to be told that they
won. The prize will be mailed by the United States Postal Service and everything that's
shipped will be thoroughly cleaned, wiped down, sanitized so it's sent in a super safe
way. For those of you who have not met me, I'm a General Dentist with a practice in beautiful
Portland, Oregon where we are dedicated to taking care of patients with TMJ Disorders.
So let's get to the fun part! What's in this Giveway. First and foremost, I will be giving
away two Aqualizers. The Aqualizer is an amazing little invention; I wish I had come up with
it myself! Again, I'm not associated with this company in any way, shape, or form. I
wish I was, but I'm definitely not to be very, very clear. An Aqualizer is a little temporary
appliance. It has two pads that are filled with sterile water. These pads, when they
rest in between your upper and lower teeth, these pads serve as a water bed for the muscles
in your head, neck, and jaw. And so the muscles then float to their "happy place. This can
be a key player in helping bring down headaches, jaw pain, ear pain, etc. I've even seen it
get someone unlocked once, which was pretty neat. That is not always the case, that was
pretty rare but it was neat to see. These are very very temporary, so if you're a heavy
clencher or a heavy grinder, you can burst those little water pads and you'll end up
with some sterile water in your mouth and then you can actually throw the Aqualizer
away. They are kind of pricey - they usually run at about $30 each and I've seen someone
break one in under 45 minutes, but I've seen some people make them last for several weeks.
So give it a go if you do win. They can definitely help bring down some pain as long as they
last. The second thing I will be giving away is a booklet written by my mentor. This booklet
is called "So You Have TMJ? A Helpful Guide". It talks a lot about TMJ vs. TMD, what it
all means, and how you can sort of make some lifestyle changes that could potentially get
you some relief. Dr. Arthur L. Parker has been doing this TMJ work for over 40 years
and he's really dedicated his life to learning more, treating patients, etc and I'm fortunate
to be working with him. I would definitely say this booklet is going to be great for
whoever wins. The next thing I'm giving away is this awesome dolphin massager! This thing
came in so handy when I suffered from whiplash - I had a pretty bad car accident at the end
August of 2020. This dolphin massager just really got into my traps, the side of my neck,
and it really just helped ease a lot of the tension that had built up there. Neck pain
and jaw pain - the upper cervicals and the jaw - are intimately related and so if you're
having jaw and neck pain, this can really help alleviate both. I would say probably
don't use it on your jaw, because that might end up hurting a lot - it might be too much
pressure, too much vibration. But definitely use it on the neck, the trapezius - it can
really work out any knots that have built up there; so many of us carry tension there.
And last, but definitely not least, is this microwavable neck and shoulder wrap. This
was also a huge lifesaver to me after my whiplash incident. I would heat it up for 1 1/2 -2
minutes and place it on my shoulders and on my neck, and it just helped work out any tight
areas. This, along with the dolphin massager, they both work really well. I would do the
dolphin massager first and then I would do the microwavable pillow afterwards. And they
both just work really, really well together. Be sure to enter this Giveaway, my friends.
Like, SUBSCRIBE, do all the things and I'm looking forward to announcing the lucky winner
in a couple weeks. And remember - you can never have TMI about TMJ!
