Q: Desperate For a Tmj Specialist!

I need a tmj specialist. I can't seem to find one anywhere near me and no one website really recommends anyone as the american dental association still doesn't recognize tmj as a dental disorder. I'm in missouri and need a specialist that will understand the degenerative disorder. I've had 3 surgeries and now have some sort of cyst or calcium deposit on my jaw joint. I need a surgeon, not a tmj doc that thinks this can be healed with endontics and I never should have had the surgeries. If anyone has a suggestion as to how to find a doc or can recommend someone I would appreciate it! I'll even travel if the doc really knows what he/she is doing.
Thanks!!

Seeking Specialist

Have you got on the net and looked for oral/maxofacial surgeons or another way is neuromuscular dentists in your area? Not sure if this will help. I don't live in your area, but where I am they have a tmj clinic at the university hospital. You may check to see if that is available in your area also. Let me know if that helps Smile
