I have not been able to find one in my state, and I'm nervous that I will have to travel a great distance. Does anyone know who to contact or how to find one? Somehow I am not surprised that my state doesn't have a specialist, but this is stressing me out. I want someone who understands this to work on me, and hopefully help!

Thanks everyone, you are all such a great support group!

Look up the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain on the internet. They have a referral page by state on their home page.

Also try the website for Dr. Stack. If you see the same name on both sites, you have probably found a decent specialist. I trust the AACP website as well as Dr. Stack's because my specialist is listed on both.

Cat,
I don't know of anybody in Maine so can't help you there. On the topic page of the board you will see at the top where it says profile, register, etc. Just click on the profile and edit.

Hi *Cat* - there is a good TMJ place in Boston, which is kind of hike, but not super far. It's called the Gelb Orofacial Pain Center.

Good luck!
