Arthur L. Parker, DMD
Specializing in Cranio-mandibular Pain Management
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the two joints that connect the jaw to the skull -- the joints that slide and rotate in front of your ears.
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is any problem that prevents this complex system of muscles, bones, and joints from working together in harmony.
The relationship of your teeth, muscles, and joints is critical to your overall oral health. If these three important elements are not working in harmony you can experience head, neck, and facial pain caused by a temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
Dr. Art Parker devotes his dental practice in Portland,
Oregon, to patients with some form of TMD. He evaluates, treats, and
charts each patient's recovery from the problems associated with TMD
using clinical exams, functional testing, X-rays, CT Scans, and general
patient history of lifestyle and habits.
Dr. Parker has diagnosed and treated over 10,000 "TMD" patients and has almost 30 years of experience with electro-diagnostic procedures. He is a strong advocate of the neuromuscular philosophy of occlusion. more about Dr. Parker ...
