© 2024 The Author(s)Diagnosis is the cornerstone of care for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in order to provide crucial forward momentum in terms of patient engagement and education alongside provision of appropriate management. Despite its importance diagnostic confidence for TMD is reported as low in the primary care settings. This article will consider potential reasons for this and outline the importance of diagnosis for both individuals living with the condition and clinicians. We will suggest utilisation of a pragmatic, evidence based, broad group diagnosis using simplified examination procedures and diagnostic aids to support the TMD diagnostic process for clinicians.
