This course will be presented to address the following questions:
What should a dental hygienist know about TMD?
How may a dental hygienist assess the risk for TMD in the clinical setting?
What should a dental hygienist do to assist a patient presenting with TMD symptoms?
What forms of treatment would a dental hygienist expect to be provided for a patient with a TMD
How should a dental hygienist provide oral hygiene care for a patient with a TMD?
This presentation will be in a dialogue format with plenty of opportunity to ask additional questions and provide discussion on this important topic. It is anticipated that this will be information that can immediately be utilized in everyday dental hygiene practice.
