🎁A TMD Gift for You

Sponsored by

Happy Friday ya TMJ healers,

A very serious note to start: Dr. Katie Tran, a 2021 graduate of LSU and now practicing dentist in Louisiana, was stabbed by a patient last week and is now fighting to save vision in one of her eyes.

Scary, heartbreaking stuff. If you feel so inclined, donate to her recovery fund here.

Today’s stuff:

• 😎Hey good lookin’. A TMD self-care guide that you will actually feel proud giving to your patients.

• ☕Coffee Break. A decline in solo practitioners and parents spending too much money for a tooth fairy experience.

• ❌A very wrong answer. A review of a trivia question that 72% of you got wrong.

So you probably hear this complaint all the time…

And you just think to yourself (but never ACTUALLY say)

Because there are A LOT of misconceptions out there.

Like this ridiculous jaw workout device that patients think is a good idea.

Not good dude, not good.

Anywho-

Being the good,smart dentist that you are…you try to set the record straight about TMJ TMD.

For example, you might tell your patients some facts like:

• ⏲️5-10 minutes: the amount of time that opposing teeth should be in contact throughout the day

• 📊33%: The percentage of the general population that experiences popping or click in one or both of their joints

• ☕Limit caffeine intake to 1 to 2 products per day.

But here’s the problem:

Yup, all that information goes in the patient’s one ear…and out the other

Which is why we made a gift for you:

A good-lookin’ TMD self-care handout to give to your patients.

Yup, we think it turned out pretty well…and something you will actually want to give to your patients.

All wrapped up in a format that looks appealing to the eyes.
