Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to examine thousands of patients, many of whom presented with what they commonly described as “TMJ”. I began to realize that most patients were not well informed about jaw pain and dysfunction. As a result, they had often seen numerous health care providers and tried various remedies without ever fully understanding the nature of their pain and dysfunction. Many patients were frustrated and still suffering. Having always felt that a well informed patient can make better decisions about their health care and treatment, I set out on a mission to create an easy to understand booklet to explain “What exactly is TMJ?” and the various ways it can be treated.
This booklet is not designed to diagnose or recommend any particular treatment. Those decisions should only be made by one’s health care provider. The goal is to help understand certain signs and symptoms that may indicate the presence of jaw pain and dysfunction. Armed with some basic knowledge, individuals will hopefully seek care from the appropriate professional, typically their dentist, thereby saving unnecessary visits, co-pays and treatments.
