To understand TMJ disorder, we must first understand
what TMJ stands for ( temporomandibular joint )

It connects your jaw to the skull at the side.
When functioning properly, you can chew, speak, yawn,
sing, laugh, and smile.

It may be difficult to determine what the exact cause
of TMJ disorder. A persons pain may be a result of

of these.

National Brush your teeth day Nov 2

For National Brush your teeth day, we
wanted to give you a chart that can help motivate
the young ones to brush their teeth.
( "brush your teeth chart" )

It's a great way to introduce a good routine
for brushing their teeth. The dreaded red X
on the chart is something nobody wants
to see on their chart. ?
Seeing those green checks on the chart can lead to
some reward if you wanted to add some flare to the routine.
