What is Neuromuscular Dentistry/TMJ Therapy?
Traditional dentistry focuses on teeth, gums, and jaws. Neuromuscular dentistry addresses the intricate link between these elements, as well as facial muscles and nerves. Practitioners of neuromuscular dentistry treat the whole oral system with therapies that promote optimal health and function. Many people experience TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain caused by neuromuscular problems throughout their lives, but they never know the cause. They visit a variety of medical professionals to no avail. As an LVI dentist, Dr. Schwam will discuss your TMJ symptoms and use modern tools and technology to discover the source of your distress. Armed with information, he can tailor a treatment plan to deliver whole-mouth health.
