Our Services
We see you as a team
There will be 3 professionals in the room for your appointment:
an ENT

We all have extensive additional training and years of combined experience working in TMD/orofacial pain.
We take a thorough history
We listen to your concerns and history. We will ask relevant questions that will help us tease out risk factors, diagnosis and treatment pathways. It also help us be sure that you are in the right place and what you might need to improve. Sometimes this can take a little while if you have experienced a challenging or complex pathway.
We assess you as a team
You will have an a physical assessment. This will involve:
Assessment of your upper airways if relevant (ENT scope)
Assessment of your teeth, bite, jaw, splint (dentist)
Assessment of your neck, TMJ and TMJ muscles inside your mouth and outside your mouth (Physio)
We will all have a look at the way you move your jaw and how your TMJ muscles feel and assess anything else relevant to your case
You may be asked to complete some questionaries
We discuss our findings and plan with you
After assessing you we pool our findings and out together a differential diagnosis as to what we think is happening.
We discuss this with you, we discuss any further investigations (like a sleep study or MRI) or referrals that you may need. We will then present appropriate an appropriate treatment plan and follow up.
You may be asked to follow up with one of us individually.
We can offer some treatments on the spot depending on what you need.
