In this video, Dr. Prabhjeet Singh Sethi, a TMJ specialist in Kolkata with 25+ years of experience, provides an overview of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and the professional journey of a specialist in treating related disorders.
What is TMJ:
The TMJ is a movable joint located at the side of the head that connects the lower jaw to the skull and facilitates jaw movement.
Initial Clinical Challenges: Between 2001 and 2012, the doctor frequently encountered patients complaining of headaches, backaches, joint pain, and clicking sounds. At the time, lacking specialized training in TMJ and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD), the dentist typically provided symptomatic relief or referred patients to other specialists, such as surgeons or ENT doctors, without a clear understanding of how to treat the root cause.
Professional Training: In 2013, Dr. Sethi sought specialized training on TMJ from Dr. Peter Dawson in St. Petersburg, Florida. Over the course of a month, Mr. Prabhjeet gained comprehensive knowledge regarding TMJ, TMJD, related diseases, and the use of treatment appliances.
Specialized Care: Motivated to provide substantial cures for TMJD, Mr. Singh emphasizes that dentists are the physicians of the masticatory system and are well-equipped to treat these conditions effectively, even in cases where other medical interventions have failed.
