Protrusive Dental Podcast with Dr. Jaz Gulati: "the TMJ Exam" - Priya Mistry, DDS (the TMJ doc)

Dr. Jaz Gulati was gracious enough to invite me onto his wonderful podcast - Protrusive Dental Podcast - to discuss my TMJ work. Little did I know that Dr. Gulati himself does TMJ work and is even teaching a wonderful course on making splints!
Fellow Dentists - I think you'll find this video valuable as I share how I do my TMJ Examination - step by step - as well as WHY each step is important and can lead you to a good diagnosis! Please watch and feel free to comment and/or ask questions.

This channel is all about TMJ disorders - what they are, how they manifest, what to do about them and how they relate to other issues that may be going unnoticed in the body such as tongue tie, sleep apnea, ADHD, and more! I will also be posting about being a dentist and a working mommy to two wonderful children. Thank you and I hope you enjoy my videos!

She is wonderful... I have learned so much! I've learned that there is NO ONE in the Albany NY area. So sad!! I have been passed on from Dentist, ENT, Pain Management and NOT ONE has examined the mandibular/maxillary area.

[@theTMJdoc]

Sorry to hear that!

[@jayapatil6079]

Great Video!! Excellent information on Protrusive Dental Podcast Dr. Priya and Dr.Gulati.

[@theTMJdoc]

Thank you!

[@protrusive]

you rocked, Priya!

[@theTMJdoc]

YOU rock, Jaz! And I’m terribly embarrassed that my American accent will never sound as refined as your British accent!

[@hinaynihorvath3926]

when you have nerve pain from tmj disorder there is a diconnection between your brain and pain pathway from my own experience with the psycho dentists we have to endure here in queensland australia

[@theTMJdoc]

Sorry to hear that!

[@now_chemical]

this is so eye opening!

[@theTMJdoc]

👍🏼

[@mikescudder4621]

"Eye opening"?! I think you meant to say 'jaw dropping' ;-)

[@TheWorstCAFisherman]

I literally woke up right jaw locked. I pushed a bit with a finger and it got fixed! Then every day when I would wake up the same thing happened and I would keep fixing it. Until one day I couldnt and now it's been 2 days, I can only fit 2 fingers and it's really annoying

[@theTMJdoc]

Sorry you’re going through this. Have you seen a tmj dentist or physical therapist?

[@TheWorstCAFisherman]

@@theTMJdoc No I thought it would go away on its own but it didnt happen. I also get mad a lot so maybe it could be that I clench my jaw a lot. Also no pain just locked thank you.

[@TheWorstCAFisherman]

@sarahlabbett4626 yeah I thought i needed surgery but just massage it and put warm packs and ur good

[@mikescudder4621]

Dra. Priya, great podcast! I have a question. With a custom orthotic that puts the jaw in its ideal resting position, according to the muscles, does this almost always help chronic night time bruxers and clenchers? Thanks.

[@theTMJdoc]

No appliance can stop clenching or bruxing activity. But a well made tmj orthotic will mitigate the effects of clenching and bruxing.

[@mikescudder4621]

@@theTMJdoc Thanks. Much appreciated!

Christine Byer on KZbin has excellent jaw massage video. Menopause TAYLOR on KZbin is excellent resource on osteopenia and HRT and after 50 bone issues. That is when mine started to be an issue. The book BREATH on audible is amazing!

[@theTMJdoc]

Yes yes and yes 🙌🏼 thank you!

[@jacksmith-ok8tx]

Very interesting topics covered. I have overbite and tmj issues. Have had migraines and jaw pain etc. Have had chiro sessions to set my neck and back is helping alot. In my case would you go for orthodontic first and then tackling the tmj? Or the other way round and what is your opinion on removing teeth for orthodontics?

[@theTMJdoc]

I almost always recommend treating the TMJD first - getting rid of pain and/or joint dysfunction with orthotics, myofascial release, and osteopathic manual jaw manipulation. Then pursuing orthodontia if you want to. I try to avoid removing teeth for orthodontics.

[@jacksmith-ok8tx]

@@theTMJdoc thanks helps alot!!!!

[@jacksmith-ok8tx]

@@theTMJdoc would it take a few sessions to fix this? I can come along from the uk but not sure how many sessions would be

[@theTMJdoc]

@@jacksmith-ok8tx sometimes a few and sometimes several over many months. That’s not an easy question to answer because tmjd can have so many causes.

[@madhursaxena5202]

Hi..do u know any good neuro dentist in India

[@theTMJdoc]

I’m sorry I don’t!

[@socialmediag5485]

Is it possible to have a deviated septum and not mean I have sleep apnea??

[@theTMJdoc]

yes!

[@mariamahmed8655]

Where is your chamber? How can I meet you?

[@theTMJdoc]

My office is in Portland, Oregon.

[@eric7409]

Go ahead, Step on more chiropractor toes. I cringe at all these videos of people getting their necks cracked. 2017 a chiropractor "adjusted" my neck and tore my vertebral artery causing a stroke. Stay away from chiropractors or at least dont let them near your neck!

[@theTMJdoc]

Oh no! Sorry to hear this!

[@mikescudder4621]

Agreed. Osteopathy makes much more sense...

[@DorothyTerrell-k5l]

Where do you use the Theraflec

[@sandrawalker2066]

Girl or woman

What?
