92. NOJAN BAKHTIARI on TMJ Symptoms, Remedies, and Treatments

Welcome back! Today we are joined by Dr. Nojan Bakhtiari, TMJ & Orofacial Pain Specialist based in NYC. We learn all about TMJ and jaw pain, what some of the causes are, why it is important to see a specialist, and how Dr. Nojan's approach is individualized for each of his patients. Dr. Nojan shares his thoughts on different treatments and remedies such as botox, mouth guards, facial massage, and acupuncture. We also talk about his personal experience striving for work-life balance with a demanding job and while he was in medical school and how he switched from thinking he would pursue a career in art to going into dentistry.
