We believe there is a predictable science to TMD, and that all dentists deserve to know "the secrets"
The Art & Science of TMD
About the Course
Jaw joint problems are among the the most difficult challenges we face as clinicians, affecting roughly 1-in-10 of our patients. While TMD is nuanced and complex, the real problem is the lack of education and training. After all, TMD was hardly a strength of dental school.
With the Art & Science of TMD Program, we demystify TMD by taking a disciplinary approach. Learn from masterclass lectures and case studies. Explore opportunities for hands-on clinical training working along side industry leading expert clinicians. Join our TMD program and boost your practice by helping to improve your patients lives!
