Neuromuscular Dentistry

What do headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness, dizziness, ear congestion and ringing, and facial and head muscle tenderness have to do with dentistry? At first glance, you would think not much. However, there is a growing number of dentists who have been trained in what is called "neuromuscular dentistry" that can tell you differently.

This approach to dentistry is much different than what most dentists were taught in dental school. Instead of only looking at the teeth and jaws, neuromuscular dentistry considers the muscles, which control the jaws, the nerves that control the muscles, and how this relates back to the overall body.

With this approach, many people who have had problems traditional dentistry and medicine could not fix, have found a renewed life, free of pain and discomfort. Neuromuscular dentistry is playing a very dynamic role in the treatment of chronic headaches, TMJ type symptoms, and upper body (neck, shoulder, back) problems.

The basic approach is to find a certain position for the lower jaw that allows the muscles which connect from the top and the muscles that connect from the bottom to both be in a state of relaxation, one not pulling harder than the other. When that happens, muscles don't overwork. When muscles don't overwork, the nerves aren't overworked. Everything is trying to reach a state of balance. When any of these are out of balance, symptoms will occur.

Neuromuscular dentistry uses technology not usually seen in dentistry. This technology allows the neuromuscular approach to help people in pain and who have complicated dental problems, find a solution they have not been able to have until now.
