Shownotes Transcript

Myofacial Pain patients can be the most challenging types of patients to treat and many doctors refer them to oral surgeons and other specialists not knowing what to do. The reality is, we do not receive a lot of experience in this area in dental school except to recommend a “bite plane”, which, after years of treating pain patients, is now what I barely consider a ‘bandaid at best’. Have a listen as I go through a real example of a pain patient that came to my chair recently and hopefully use these tips to help you manage your next TMD patient. Don’t forget to share this with anyone who maybe needing this now or in the future! As always, I would LOVE and appreciate any reviews, feedback or post if you like this podcast.
