A Brief Introduction to TMJ Syndrome

For over a decade, Dr. Nicholas “Nick” Rauber has worked as a dentist at Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s Aesthetic Dentistry Group. In this position he provides a wide variety of dental services, including TMJ treatments. Nick Rauber, DDS, is also the founder of Swollfest, a charitable fishing tournament that has generated more than $1.2 million in philanthropic giving. Temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ) is a condition characterized by pain and discomfort that begins in the jaw and radiates throughout the face and neck. Additional symptoms of the disorder include persistent earaches and headaches, locking of the jaw joint, a clicking or popping noise when talking or eating, and general stiffness or soreness. In less severe cases, TMJ can be treated with in-home remedies, such as ice packs and over-the-counter medication. However, more severe instances of the disorder demand more advanced intervention, which may range from prescription drugs to surgery. Fortunately, most cases do not require such actions. Individuals who suspect they may be suffering from TMJ should consult with a trusted dental professional.

Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Encourages Summer Camp Volunteers

Upon graduation from Louisiana State University's School of Dentistry, Dr. Nicholas Rauber joined Dr. Daniel O. Bankhead at the Aesthetic Dentistry Group in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Dr. Nicholas Rauber is an active supporter of several charities and has volunteered for 17 years for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). In 1997, he received the “Outstanding New Counselor Award” while volunteering at the MDA's one-week summer camp as a junior staff member. With locations across the country, the MDA summer camps allow kids who suffer from neuromuscular disease an opportunity to enjoy a camp designed just for them. They meet other children and participate in traditional camp activities like swimming, horseback riding, fishing, and arts and crafts. All activities are adapted so that every child can join in the fun, no matter his or her mobility challenges, and the MDA covers the costs of the camp. To make this experience possible, the MDA relies upon volunteers to work one-on-one with the campers and provide supervision, as well as around-the-clock care. Applicants for volunteer positions must be 16 years or older, submit three reference letters, consent to a background check, and complete a volunteer application. If chosen, applicants then interview with other staff members before a final decision is made.
