Stay Away From TMD! PDP EP-039

Why do some patients have painful joints, whereas others get headaches? And why do MOST of our parafunctional patients not get any symptoms? Why do some peoples teeth wear away, whilst others teeth are riddled in cracks? In this episode Stay Away From TMD, I talk about the pros and cons of devoting your career in Dentistry to treating Temporomandibular disorders. Treating 'TMD' can be a complex field because it deals with all the complexities of chronic pain. However, it can be a very rewarding area. I also discussed why the umbrella term of 'TMD' is not really specific enough. We can do better as a profession to understand the diagnoses within 'TMD' a little better. -------------------------------------- Apply for FREE access to the Nicest and Geekiest Dental Community in the World 🌍 https://protrusive.app - it’s absolutely Free We also have paid plans so you can Claim Verifiable CPD/CE + EXCLUSIVE content: https://protrusive.app 🔊 Subscribe on Apple: https://protrusive.co.uk/apple 🔊 Subscribe on Spotify: https://protrusive.co.uk/spotify 📷 Instagram:   / protrusivedental   Online Courses: 😬 Learn Occlusion Online: https://occlusion.online/ 📚 Learn TMD and Occlusal Appliances: https://www.splintcourse.com 🦷 Gain Confidence with Resin Bonded Bridges: https://rbbmasterclass.com 🎒 Learn Vertipreps, Rubber Dam and More: https://protrusive.co.uk/ultimate
