On a recent call with a young dentist, I realized how common the confusion between TMD and OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) has become.

Here’s what I’ve seen ⬇️
👉 Younger dentists often conflate the two diseases
👉 Older dentists may show little interest in either
👉 Middle-aged dentists are often influenced more by public media than dental science

And it’s not just private practitioners. Even dental professors and instructors in schools sometimes confuse TMD with OSA.

Let’s be clear:
✅ TMD is a disease of the temporomandibular joint
✅ It is driven by chronic inflammation
✅ Symptoms include headaches, earaches, jaw pain, neck pain, tinnitus, dizziness, upper back pain, shoulder pain, arm/hand tingling, and jaw locking
✅ OSA is a completely separate disease, with different causes, risk factors, and treatments

The overlap is misunderstanding, not medicine.

It’s time to straighten this out. TMD and OSA are NOT the same disease.
