What Is The Best Treatment For TMD?
There are many philosophies and methods to treat TMD
in which doctors believe. Dr. Menchel has been exposed to all of these and
finds some benefit in almost all of them. But he strongly rejects a broad,
universal approach in which there is one cause of jaw problems and all patients
should be treated the
same way.
In Dr. Menchel’s 17 years of treating thousands
of TMD patients, he has found that every patient has a unique set of symptoms
and problems, and that treatment must be individualized and customized for
each patient to ensure that treatment’s success.
Dr. Menchel’s philosophy of treating TMD includes:
1. Make a proper diagnosis by determining where the pain
is coming from.
2. Treat it as conservatively and simply as possible.
3. Prevent it from relapsing as a chronic problem.
