Neuromuscular dentistry refers to the intricate system of teeth, bones, ligaments, muscles, and nerves in the head and oral cavity. Neuromuscular problems result in a variety of painful symptoms including migraines, facial pain, and TMJ disorder. As an LVI-trained neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Wilson will find the underlying causes of your pain and provide relief with simple, non-surgical therapies.
If you have headaches and migraines or facial, neck, back, and shoulder pain, you may suffer from TMJ disorder. Many of our patients were unaware that their pain was dental-related until they saw Dr. Wilson for their exam. TMJ disorder is very common in our society, though physicians commonly misdiagnose the symptoms.
Healthy temporomandibular joints (TMJ) allow the jaw to move forward, backward, and in circular motions. TMJ disorder occurs when these joints are thrown off balance by stress, injury, disease, or other factors. A neuromuscular dentist such as Dr. Wilson understands the need to resolve underlying causes of TMJ disorder. He may recommend a custom mouthguard, stress-relief therapy, tooth reshaping, or other treatments.
Accurate diagnosis of TMJ disorder is half the battle. If you experience any of the symptoms of TMJ disorder, see Dr. Wilson. He may be able to alleviate your pain in as little as 3 to 6 months.
