What Is TMJ Syndrome?
10. How Can One Prepare for an Appointment for TMJ Syndrome?
Regardless of the type of clinician you see for your TMJ disorder, the initial appointment will be similar. In order to find out if it is a TMJ problem or other condition, you will be asked a series of questions. The visit will be easier and quicker if you prepare for the questions ahead of time. Be prepared to answer questions related to the symptoms, such as when they started, if they are constant and if anything makes them better or worse.
Be prepared to answer inquiries into your stress levels and if anything has changed recently. Bring a list of all supplements and medications, as well as the name of any other healthcare professional you are seeing. Based on your answers, the dentist or doctor will perform an exam and conduct diagnostic tests to determine what is going on.
