Dr. Samuel Higdon, DDS

I was referred to Dr. Higdon in 1993 after sustaining a RT TMJ injury in a car accident. I was also dealing with inner ear injuries, sensitivity to light, noise and having balance issues. Dr. Higdon recognized and acknowledged my inner ear issues and was very caring in adapting to my special needs in his office and treatment room. I found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful in working toward relieving my pain and realigning my bite. I still see him as needed to this day.

I was on the verge of having jaw surgery - when I was referred to Dr. Higdon. After being fitted for an appliance - the relief was almost immediate and has sustained over many, many years. He has repaired them as he has been able - but - as I still grind my teeth - has had to make new ones - with the same precision and results. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Dr. Higdon, a TMJ/jaw pain specialist. His extensive knowledge of TMJ issues is very impressive, and I have much gratitude and respect for his talent, patience and commitment to his patients. It’s all about the precision of the bite, stabilizing the jaw with a splint, and methodically correcting that bite, so that the teeth and the jaw joints and muscles work together. Dr. Higdon is a master at this in a field where there is a very short list of specialists that treat TMJ.

I had been suffering from headaches and tooth pain for at least a year, seeking help from numerous health care professionals, but no one could uncover the deep-seated problem. Then a friend suggested Dr. Higdon. I knew I was in good hands within minutes of my first visit. He intently listened, examined, studied, tested, and explained what was occurring with my malfunctioning jaw and bite. As soon as I began using my individualized mouth guard (splint, appliance), I felt relief. But Dr. Higdo

I first saw Dr. Higdon for my jaw clicking which he successfully treated. Then again after an accident. When I stopped improving he was concerned. I had suffered a concussion in the accident and he encouraged me to see a specialist to rule out any inner problems. I listened to him and ended up having two major surgeries which ultimately "fixed" me. We were then able to conclude my TMJ treatment. Thank you very much for caring!

I am so grateful my dentist referred me to Dr. Higdon. He is the only person my dentist would consider to help me. My TMJ was debilitating and painful. Dr. Higdon, with incredible skill and experience, developed a specialized plan to help me. I am so thankful for his wonderful care. He truly spends his life to help others. I am glad I am one of them. Karin C. small business owner

Dr. Higdon has been my TMJ doctor for over 10 years. During that time he has helped me get relief from my TMJ pain. He has always listened and worked with me when I need any adjustments for my appliance. During these years he has been caring and professional. He has allowed me to make payments when financial problems has occurred. I would recommend him to anyone having TMJ problems.
