20 Years of Pain Banished by a Dentist
As clinicians dealing with chronic pain patients we spend a lot of time diagnosing TMD problems, guiding them through the various phases of treatment and trying to get them to change habits that have developed over a lifetime. It can be difficult to work out just what is happening while stomatognathic structures gradually heal and change, so that we can get a bit bogged down in our own concerns and lose sight of what the patient is also going through in these very challenging cases. We need to be equally aware of what the patient is going through and any psychological support they might require to help them through what can at times be a frustratingly slow process. I thought it would be useful to share a patient report that illustrates these points.
