Dr. Mariana Blagoev, a reputable dentist from Bright Smiles Dental situated in Parlin, NJ, was interviewed on Doctor Relations’ health network on TMJ disorders, also known as TMD. This disorder is connected with the temporomandibular joint, where the jaw joint experiences misalignment.

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research published a report showing that 5-12% of the U.S. population is affected by TMD, the main cause of general jaw pain. It further showed that 95% of TMD patients are women. However, only two out of three people seek treatment. The pain that comes with TMD may be mistaken for simple headaches, but it is not a simple condition.  

“TMJ disorder is often thought to be regular headaches, but it is important to seek treatment before surgery is needed. There are very real consequences of being negligent in getting the proper TMD treatment. Intense pain in the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement impede with daily activities and life,” said Dr. Blagoev.  

Conditions deteriorate over time when problems are not discovered at the early stages. TMD often is characterized by simple headaches at the beginning. If left untreated, it may result in chronic jaw pain, never-ending headaches and other undesirable effects. 

Dr. Blagoev supports patients in beginning early treatment by providing dental consultation, exam and X-rays at no cost. This also gives patients an opportunity to get a second opinion on treatment plans suggested by another dentist. 

At the interview, Dr. Blagoev said, “Getting TMD diagnosed early is important as it prevents the need for surgery and enables one to start treatment using non-surgical means.”  

“The patient’s general health is a priority for me, and I want to help in eradicating headaches and jaw pain before it adversely affects the whole body,” said Dr. Blagoev. “With technological advancements, those experiencing the consequences of TMJ disorder can access different solutions at my office at any stage!”  

Bright Smiles Dental patient, Joanna, says that “Dr. Blagoev is friendly and professional, she thoroughly explained step by step what she was doing during our appointment and made me feel at ease. The staff is so nice and helpful with any questions or concerns I had, I would absolutely recommend this office!” 

Dental work is not the only thing Dr. Blagoev does, she has also organized community welfare programs such as food drives, toy drives, free dentistry days, and many other campaigns that serve the community.
