How we Help Manage TMDsOur Management Philosophy

Our Ethos

  1. To treat TMD conservatively with evidence base
  2. To avoid “overtreating”
  3. To Listen
  4. To be up to date with current research
  5. To tailor the treatment to the patient – not a ‘one size fits all’ model

We believe that conservative care (reversible, non-surgical) should be the first line therapy for patients suffering with Temporomandibular disorders.

With this approach, we can help 80% of TMD sufferers.

We first examine and assess for the following (see image below):

After a thorough assessment and diagnosis, we provide the following services:
