For many general dentists, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a topic that often sits at the edge of their dental training but directly affects many of their patients. Understanding TMJ disorders, also known as TMD, isn’t just a niche specialty—it’s a critical component of comprehensive dental care. Recognizing and treating TMJ issues can improve patient outcomes, reduce chronic pain, and expand your ability to address whole-patient health.
In this article, you’ll learn why TMJ knowledge matters for every dentist, how to start treating these disorders, and how TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre International can help you add this skill to your clinical practice.
How Treating TMJ Enhances Your Dental Practice
Understanding how to treat TMJ can completely change the way you approach dentistry. You’ll move from addressing surface-level symptoms, like tooth wear or bite imbalance, to treating their underlying causes.
Adding TMJ treatment capabilities can also:
- Broaden your patient base to include those with chronic pain or sleep issues
- Improve treatment outcomes for orthodontic and restorative cases
- Increase referrals and differentiate your practice in a competitive market
Learning to diagnose and manage TMJ disorders positions you as a comprehensive care provider, not just a tooth specialist.
Learn to Treat TMJ & Sleep Disorders: Mini Residency
TMJ International offers the TMJ Therapy Mini Residency, a hands-on, multi-weekend course that guides dentists through the complete process of diagnosing and treating TMJ and sleep disorders. This is the same curriculum developed by Dr. Steven Olmos, the pioneer of the Olmos System, which has been taught globally for more than 30 years.
Participants learn the science and the systems. These clinical protocols and patient communication techniques make TMJ treatment an integrated part of everyday dentistry.
Webinars and Continuing Education
If you’re not ready for a mini residency, explore TMJ International’s library of educational webinars. These sessions cover everything from craniofacial pain and sleep-disordered breathing to practice integration and case studies. They’re an ideal first step for learning the fundamentals and seeing how the Olmos System has helped thousands of patients worldwide.
