💡 Recovering from TMJ surgery?

Here’s what you need to know:

➜ Most TMJ surgeries are outpatient, so you’ll go home the same day.
➜ The #1 priority after surgery? Rest. Your jaw needs time to heal without stress.
➜ There’s also a routine to follow to make recovery smoother.

😰 Why is the dentist scary for so many people?

It’s not just the drills—it’s the loss of control.

➜ Sitting in a dental chair? It feels the same for many.
➜ But here’s the good news: Trust and care can shift that feeling.

✨ Struggling with a locked jaw?

The other day, I saw one of the worst cases of lockjaw—her mouth could barely open a few millimeters. You know what? She had no idea what caused it.

That’s the thing about lockjaw:

➜ It often happens without a clear injury or event.
➜ The causes usually build up over time, not all at once.
➜ And if you’re feeling overwhelmed trying to figure it out—you’re not alone.

Want to know the common causes of lockjaw and how to treat it?

💡 If I could create the perfect dentist…

They’d be a mix of empathy, knowledge, resilience, and something harder to define: grace.

What’s grace?

It’s not just confidence—it’s charm, respect, and the ability to inspire without trying too hard.

Grace isn’t loud. It’s quiet strength.

That’s what makes a great dentist. 🦷

Tag someone who inspires you with their grace. ✨

🌟 Did you know?

Ear pain or ringing (tinnitus) isn’t always an ear problem. 👂

Here’s why:
➜ Sometimes, the real cause is the jaw—specifically the TMJ.
➜ This is called referred pain, where the pain feels like it’s in your ear but comes from somewhere else.
➜ TMJ issues can trigger ear pain, ringing, and more.

Does behavior shape your self-image?

More than we realize.

Over time, neglecting dental care can lead us to believe our smiles don’t matter. But that’s far from the truth.

Every smile has its own beauty. Regaining confidence starts with small changes in behavior, one step at a time.

Can braces cause TMJ?

That’s the question that sometimes patients and even other dentists ask me.

TMJ disorder is when the jaw movements are out of ideal harmony. Plain and simple.

When the jaw is moving out of harmony, it creates muscle tension in the head and neck.

It’s not that braces cause or cure TMJ by their mere use, it all depends on the position that the teeth are moved into.

TMJ disorder causes a variety of symptoms throughout the head and neck. One of the primary symptoms is headache. Hold that thought. Actually, to be more specific—tension headaches.

How can your jaw and TMJ cause headaches? Muscle tension from TMJ disorder can cause 2 types of headaches:

1 - tension headaches
2 - vascular headaches

These are most commonly referred to as TMJ headaches.

A perfect dentist must have empathy.

While I think people can develop a lot of other characters through their life experiences, empathy is something that’s pre-baked into our character. You can’t fake empathy.
