Giving TMJ patients a voice!

A Tragic Loss - The TMJ Association mourns the passing of its founder and president, Terrie Cowley, who died on July 22, 2024. Though we are bereft and grieving, we remain steadfast in our dedication to the organization’s mission. https://t.co/yuMgGfCL68

Millions of Americans suffer from TMJ disorders. And yet treatment often falls into a gap between medical and dental insurance, leaving patients to pay huge bills. @annawerner and I report more on this broken system for @KFFHealthNews and @CBSMornings https://t.co/1EoFvvTUdv

We applaud Dr. Suzie Bergman who has been an advocate for raising awareness about temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues. We have partnered on several projects with the ultimate goal of CHANGING THE FACE OF TMJ! https://t.co/7DeK3nhPgo

Last year, a story from @annawerner and I led to the AGGA dental device being yanked off the market. Now we have more: The AGGA's manufacturer ignored reports of it hurting people and was "never" inspected by the FDA. From @KFFHealthNews & @CBSMornings. https://t.co/7wTmRs2tBu

TMJ disorders affect as many as 1 in 10 Americans and yet remain poorly understood and ineffectively treated. Many common treatments used by dentists lack scientific evidence.

NEW: TMJ hurts as many as 1 in 10 Americans. And yet it is widely misunderstood and poorly treated. Common treatments are backed by little to no science. And patients pay the price.

@US_Pain @CBSNews @ US_Pain Thank you for sharing this story!

[The TMJ Association @tmjassociation]

We thank @CBS News and @KFF Health News for shedding light on the truth about TMJ treatments and their lack of scientific evidence! Let's keep spreading awareness together! #TMJawareness #sciencematters

Sometimes policy hits close to home! If you or someone you care about is over 65, you’ll want to read Diana Zuckerman’s newly published commentary on why you shouldn’t want Medicare to pay for all treatments that FDA approves. https://t.co/DVzMOJZ3dD #FDA #Medicare #PatientSafety

Medicare has different standards than the FDA. That’s how it should be. https://t.co/KCHju2wjnE

We got over 1 1/2 ft of snow Friday. Our office building lost power due to the heavy snow. Yesterday the power came back on but the power surge damaged the heating system. Today is our first day back in the office. This is January and this is Wisconsin! Life is good.
