What is neuromuscular dentistry and can it help relieve headaches and jaw pain?
Neuromuscular dentistry is the science that evaluates and treats your overall oral health by considering how your muscles, teeth and joints all work together. It involves using the muscles and nerves to position the jaw into a physiologically balance and functionally comfortable position. Using accepted science and the latest technology, we can determine if the muscles, nerves and jaw are, in fact, in harmony. Often times when there is no balance and harmony with this system, the results are exacerbated and distributed throughout the body in the form of headaches, neck pain, and other related issues. The good news is that through the use of this technology, we can often diagnose and resolve the majority of the signs and symptoms that stem from this disharmony. Please see the section titled TMJ for more information.
