Dr. Becky Coats, aka “Dr. Jaw Dropper,” turned her own personal struggle with chronic jaw pain, headaches, and poor sleep into a mission to transform dentistry. After experiencing firsthand how “basic” dental care often overlooks root causes, she began researching the deeper connections between airway health, breathing, sleep apnea, and jaw development. What started as a personal search for pain relief became a professional calling.
Dr. Coats founded TMJ Plus Wellness Center, a pioneering dental wellness model near Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport that blends dentistry and works collaboratively with ENTs, chiropractors, neurologists, and other medical specialists. She focuses on treating patients holistically, not just their teeth. Her approach helps patients breathe better, sleep better, and live with less pain and greater confidence.
Today, Dr. Coats is a respected 26-year clinician, entrepreneur, educator, and community leader. By integrating advanced technology, including recent AI in healthcare executive education at Harvard Medical School, with a holistic “root cause” philosophy, Dr. Coats has redefined what it means to be a dentist.
Dr. Becky Coats’s journey is one of constant self-challenge, transitioning from a clinical practitioner to a high-level educator and visionary leader in holistic health. Her story proves that personal adversity can spark innovation—and change countless lives.
