Americans

and neck pain. Recent studies indicate the majority
of these problems are due to muscle pain and
strain associated with our chewing. Symptoms
include: chronic headaches, migraines,
neck pain, pain behind the eyes, congested ears,

Women, in their child bearing years, make up the majority of sufferers of this debilitating condition known as Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). This is not to say that men and denture wearers are excluded from the benefits of neuromuscular dentistry.

For many trying to solve their "pain puzzle" is like riding on a merry-go-round you can't get off!! Unfortunately, with TMD, misdiagnosis is common. Patients typicall wander from doctor to doctor, generally finding no organic basis for their
pain. Drugs and pain management techniques may help temporarily, but ultimately the agonizing pain returns.

We have treated many patients who fall into the category extremely successfully, incorporating the theory and practice of neuromuscular dentistry.

It is imperative to have harmony between your jaw, facial muscles and joints. This harmony can only exist with the use of highly efficient computerized medical and dental equipment that objectively measures muscle function and correlates the bite of the teeth to a proper jaw posture and function.

Your pain is an all-embracing problem that requires thorough examination, diagnosis and treatment by our expert staff.
