In this episode, Dr. Vincent Buscemi explores the surprising connection between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) — two seemingly separate conditions that may share a common inflammatory root. Backed by scientific studies, Dr. Buscemi explains how elevated cytokines like IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α drive both disorders, and how these inflammatory pathways overlap. We’ll also dive into fascinating research showing how sunlight, specifically UV-B exposure, can reduce the risk of developing RA by modulating immune function. Could safe sunlight exposure also benefit TMD patients? While still speculative, Dr. Buscemi lays out the plausible science that connects natural light, immune regulation, and reduced pain. 🔬 Scientific Sources Cited: Arkema et al. on UV-B and RA (Ann Rheum Dis, 2013) Singh et al. on TMJ cross-talk and systemic inflammation (Dent J, 2023) McInnes et al., Smolen et al., Cairns et al., and more (full references in episode) 🎧 Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 2:00 – What is RA? What is TMD? 8:00 – Shared inflammatory markers and anatomical overlap 14:00 – How sunlight helps RA 20:00 – Can sunlight help TMD too? 25:00 – Key takeaways and practical tips If you’re a dentist, medical professional, or a patient dealing with chronic jaw or joint pain, this episode offers a powerful, science-based perspective on the jaw-body connection — and why getting more sun might be part of the solution. 📌 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay up to date with more content on airway health, TMD, and integrative dental medicine. #TMJ #RheumatoidArthritis #SunlightTherapy #TMD #DrVincentBuscemi #Inflammation #UVB #JawPain #FunctionalMedicine #OralHealth
