What is physiologic dentistry?
Physiologic dentistry, also known as neuromuscular dentistry, is a holistic approach to your dental and overall health. It focuses on the alignment of your upper and lower jaw, and how occlusion issues can contribute to a wide range of painful symptoms such as temporomandibular disorder (TMD), headaches, and migraines.
What conditions does physiologic dentistry address?
The team at Beyond Dentistry uses physiologic dentistry to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions including:
Neck & Back Pain
Fatigue
If your upper and lower jaw doesn’t meet correctly, it can cause tension and inflammation in the muscles and connective tissues in your jaw, head, and neck. This inflammation can irritate your trigeminal nerve and lead to a wide range of painful symptoms.
What should I expect from physiologic dentistry?
The underlying philosophy of physiologic dentistry is that every part of your body is connected and that misalignment or inflammation in one part of your body, such as your mouth and jaw, can have wide-reaching effects that can impact your overall health and wellness. All your muscles work together, and when one muscle is stressed, that soreness can spread.
The muscles that control your jaw are the largest ones in your head, and when they don’t function properly, it can affect everything in your head and neck. Physiologic dentistry aims to correct occlusion issues or other underlying problems that cause inflammation, tension, or other dental health conditions that cause pain and other negative symptoms throughout your body.
What are the benefits of physiologic dentistry?
Physiologic dentistry considers your overall health and the many factors that contribute to your dental health, and vice versa. The team at Beyond Dentistry identifies the condition that’s causing your symptoms and creates a customized treatment plan to alleviate your pain while also healing the condition causing it for long-lasting relief.
