Seeking Treatment for TMDs: What Patients Can Expect from Non-Dental Healthcare Providers

The dental profession has long been the primary source for clinical management of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). However, patients with a facial pain problem may seek diagnosis and/or treatment from other healthcare providers. These providers may be physicians or other doctoral-level practitioners, or they could be members of various allied groups such as physical therapists or occupational therapists, acupuncturists, etc. However, little has been written about what patients might experience if they seek out care on their own outside of the dental profession.
