Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains that pain is a signal from the body to pay attention rather than an instruction to stop entirely. He outlines multiple non-invasive responses—strengthening, dental care, better sleep, reducing screen time, and other lifestyle adjustments—to address underlying causes and avoid unnecessary or damaging treatments.
Pain doesn't mean stop everything. It means pay attention. So pain is the way the body signals us. It says, hey, something's a little out of whack here. I need a little work. Maybe I need some strengthening. Maybe I need something cleaner coming into my mouth. Maybe I need to sleep more. Maybe I need to do a little bit less of that screen time. There are so many different ways to get to the bottom of your pain, to treat it, and to help you feel better without damaging or unnecessary treatments.
