If you have been diagnosed with TMJ, TMD, TMJD, etc., or believe from symptoms and pain, you may have TM Joint problems, this Forum will give you some information and recommendations.
We hope this helps with some of the most basic questions.
Please check the TMJ Symptoms list at the top of the Support page. We've found it to be as helpful with common symptoms as anything available.
Also, please read the ADA recommendations regarding a diagnosis and seeking help.
Reading this information will help with your first post and help you to get involved with ongoing discussions if your are new to Support Forums.
The more we know helps us to be prepared to seek help, choose a competent care provider and look for answers from others with TMJ problems and the professionals we see.
All Topics in this Forum are for your information and hopefully will be helpful in some manner.
