TMJ/TMD Care in Lansing, MI since 2000

Our team has been providing the highest level of TMJ/TMD care since 2000. Based on our decades of experience, we’ve compiled this simple questionnaire to help determine if TMJ dysfunction is impacting your quality of life. Any questions that you answer “yes” to could potentially be an indicator of TMD or poor TMJ health. The more questions that you answer “yes” to, this may indicate a higher level of risk for TMJ concerns. We recommend scheduling your initial TMJ/TMD appointment if you believe that this condition is affecting you. Our team is happy to answer any questions you may have and can provide comprehensive answers during your TMJ appointment.
