TMD (known as TMJ), Temporo Mandibular Disorder, is not a tooth problem but a systemic one. As such it affects the teeth, bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments and nerves and is far more prevalent than usually thought.
Most patients have been looking for solutions with many health providers only to find little to no results. All chronic pain/TMD patients we treated agree on that with no exceptions. Most of them turn to the Medical system for answers but the Medical system has few tools in its armamentarium to treat TMD.
Dentistry is the primary profession to treat TM joints symptoms and regardless how complex this systemic condition is, treatment does not have to be complicated and rarely involves surgery.
