    74. Stronger Together: Multidisciplinary Care in TMD & Craniofacial Pain with Darron Goralsky @melbournetmjcentre

    In this episode, we’re diving into one of dentistry’s biggest grey zones: TMD and craniofacial pain. It’s an area that sits at the intersection of dentistry, physiotherapy, osteopathy, and pain science - yet it’s often siloed, inconsistently managed, and misunderstood. While most dental professionals receive some exposure to TMD during training, it’s rarely enough to feel truly confident assessing, treating, or collaborating across disciplines. To unpack this complex space, I’m joined by Darron Goralsky, who works on the front line of TMJ and craniofacial pain management. Together, we explore why TMD lives in this professional grey zone, how different disciplines assess and approach these patients and what meaningful multidisciplinary collaboration actually looks like. If you’ve ever wondered where your role ends, where another profession’s begins, or how we can work better together for patients living with TMD and craniofacial pain - this conversation is for you. To take an even deeper dive into TMD, Darron has kindly extended a discount code to our community for the upcoming "5 step TMD Protocol Course" coming up in Melbourne 14-15.03.2026 Use "TDTM" when booking and they will honour the early bird discount!
