Hello, I’m Doug, also known as TmjAssessor. After enduring over a decade of severe, chronic TMD, I was finally able to reduce my symptoms by approximately 90%. Through this journey, I encountered a surprising amount of misinformation, ineffective treatments, and a lack of genuine patient-centered care. What could have been a path to relief within a couple of years instead became a prolonged, ten-year struggle of unnecessary pain and frustration. This experience inspired me to make a significant change. I left my career in banking to pursue dentistry, with a commitment to advancing TMD treatment and providing patients with reliable, effective care.
My mission is to offer reliable, unbiased resources to support TMD patients in comprehensively understanding their condition, staying current with scientific advancements, and distinguishing effective treatments. Emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach and the importance of timely intervention, this platform is dedicated to guiding patients toward meaningful, evidence-based improvement.
