HOW TO FIND A

           "TMJ SPECIALIST"     

You should be seen by a TMJ specialist. A "TMJ Specialist" is a dentist who ONLY treats TM Joint disorders non-surgically - no fillings, no dentures, no general dentistry at all - just TMJ. You may be told that there is no such thing as a TMJ specialist. Of course there are. I am one, and there are hundreds just like me. Here are three ways to find a qualified TMJ specialist. One of them should work.

1. Contact the dental school nearest to you. Ask for a list of their TM Joint teaching faculty. Contact one, and make an appointment.

2. Contact the Executive Secretary of your State's Dental Society. People in this position generally know who's doing what where,

3. Go to the American Academy of Orofacial Pain's Web Site at <http://www.aaop.org> and click on Members.  You will find members in your State, Province, or Country. All members of this organization are by invitation only, and all are highly qualified.
