About This Provider
Dr. Geetika Chawla is the founder of Ayur TMJ and Craniofacial Pain Clinic and Dental Sleep Medicine Center in Vancouver, WA, where she focuses exclusively on orofacial pain, temporomandibular disorders, and dental sleep medicine. With 25 years of clinical experience, she brings a depth of training that few practitioners in the Pacific Northwest can match. She earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 1985 as the university gold medalist and was named best graduate of the year at Dental College at Rohtak, India. She completed post-doctoral training in TMJ and Orofacial Pain at UCLA School of Dentistry and finished a full-time residency at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 1997. Her academic career included faculty positions at the University of Minnesota, the University of Manitoba in Canada, and institutions in India. This combination of elite academic credentials and decades of hands-on patient care allows Dr. Chawla to address even the most complex TMJ problems, chronic headaches, neuralgias, and neuropathies that general dentists and most specialists are not trained to manage.
