Phoenix TMJ Dentist

First, we need to clarify that there is no recognized TMJ specialty within the field of dentistry, so it isn't accurate to call someone a TMJ dentist. But it is a complex field that requires advanced knowledge and expertise, which Dr. Arthur Chal possesses. Dr. Chal's TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) expertise began when he himself suffered from TMJ disorder. His car was rearended by a truck, which tore his lateral ligaments and left him in pain and dysfunction. He sought out treatment from renowned TMJ expert Dr. Mark Piper of Florida, and became intrigued with the work he was doing. Read more specifics of Dr. Chal's TMJ experience by clicking the link.
