What type of specialist would I go to for my TMJ in my jaw?

Answer 1

The primary diagnosis for TMJ disorders would come from your general dentist. He may refer you to different specialists for more in-depth diagnosis or treatment, including:

- Dentists who specialize in Oral Pathology -- They can diagnose some of the more difficult cases.

- Dentists who are oral surgeons -- They perform surgical procedures to treat certain forms of TMD.

- Dentists who are orthodontists -- They render treatment for TMJ problems that can be treated with non-invasive dentofacial orthopedic devices (as opposed to invasive surgery that the oral surgeon performs).

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

7 years ago I've been involved in a car wreck and even since suffered with severe on and off facial and jaw pain. I've tried almost everything western medicine had to offer and had visited countless of specialist, had done ct scans, and therapies but to no avail. The doctors I have been to had persisted that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that almost drove me crazy as I was going through hell from this condition. According to all my symptoms I was diagnosed by a holistic doctor as having TMJ and he had recommended this book to me. After following the recommendation in the book for several weeks, it had changed my life. I got immediate relief after following the unique set of exercises in the book and after 2 weeks the jaw and face pain had completely gone. I only wish I would have ordered this program years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish.
