 Nothing new, October 11, 2009
By P. K. Shernock

I have been suffering from problems with my jaw since having some heavy-duty dental work performed three years ago. Since that time, I have been to numerous health care providers to diagnose and help solve my problems: two tmj specialists, three dentists, two orthodontists, a tmj therapist, acupuncturist, chiropractor, orthopedic doctor, and a rheumatologist. Problems with the tmj seem to be nobody's area of expertise--even for some of those who profess to know a great deal. Just recently, I finally had a CT scan done on my jaw. What an insurance run-around!!!!!! BUT finally I have hard data that shows I have degenerative joint disease of my tmj. Not good news, but at least I have a jumping off point for becoming educated about treatment options available, and being able to make informed decisions.
The information in Dr. Goddard's book is interesting. Since I have personally done a lot of research on-line about tmj problems, I did not learn much of anything new from this book. But I can say that this is a good place to start your research. I probably could have saved a lot of time by reading this book first.
TMJ: The Jaw Connection was published in 1991, eighteen years ago. Advances in surgical treatment have been made since this time. I would say the book is worth reading, but if you have an existing knowledge base, don't expect to learn much new.

TMJ The Jaw Connection, April 18, 2009
By Diane Y. Kirkpatrick

This book is written in clear language. It gives techniques for managing TMJ on your own, but does not negate getting professional help for splints and therapy. Well done.

TMJ, October 16, 2008
By Terri

This author is the only one who seems to know anything about this disorder. I also thought he really cares because the cost of the book is such a small amount to part with.
I bought his other book for $10, Taking control of tmj
I spent about alot of money going to numerous dentists, doctors, chiropractors and no one taught me what this guy knows. I was very stressed out about what I was going through, but his book gave me more peace of mind. He explains whats going on with you also and how to correct it. Very inexpensive for what you get!

Dr.Goddard, who practices at the University of California, San Francisco Center for TMD, has written an excellent and very useful book for anyone who has a TMJ disorder. He provides an overview of the disorder and a first-rate self-care section with many tips on how to manage the problem. This is a must-read book for anyone who suffers from TMJ.
