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.
Call today for YOUR first puzzle piece: our patient-friendly information
package and video.
Next, call us for your complimentary screening,
including a sonogram of your joints.
