概要

 📝 In this episode of ASAP Pathway, hosts Drs. Stacy, Michelle, and Tracey are joined by a highly respected leader in the field of TMJ and dental sleep medicine, Dr. Jamison Spencer. With nearly three decades of experience treating over 25,000 patients, Dr. Spencer brings a powerful and paradigm-shifting perspective to a topic many dentists avoid: temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ). Why are TMJ patients often labeled as “difficult”? Why do so many clinicians feel unprepared to treat them? And perhaps most importantly—are we sending patients to surgery when we don’t have to? This conversation dives deep into the gaps in dental education, the misunderstood progression of TMJ dysfunction (from clicking to locking). Dr. Spencer challenges long-held beliefs and introduces emerging, non-surgical approaches—like platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)—that are changing outcomes for even the most complex cases. The discussion also connects TMJ to airway, growth and development, and early intervention in children—highlighting why dentists play a central role in both prevention and long-term health outcomes. This is more than a clinical conversation—it’s a call to rethink how we diagnose, treat, and truly understand TMJ.About Dr Jamison SpencerLearn Adult Dental Sleep Medicine and TMJ Therapy: The Spencer Study Club⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 — Intro + ASAP Pathway welcome 00:29 — Meet Dr. Jameson Spencer 03:07 — Spencer Study Club + TMJ education 04:14 — Why dentists avoid TMJ patients 06:38 — “All TMJ patients are nuts” explained 07:28 — The problem with dental education on TMJ 08:23 — The dangerous gap: do nothing vs surgery 08:56 — PRF: A game changer in TMJ treatment 10:02 — Why surgery often makes TMJ worse 11:12 — Patients flying in to avoid surgery 12:26 — Why PRF works (and why it’s different) 13:19 — Peptides, exosomes, and regenerative medicine 14:51 — Dentistry vs medicine: prevention vs sick care 16:20 — Why most TMJ surgeries can be avoided 17:48 — What patients actually care about: pain + function 19:57 — Can joints actually heal?
