WOBURN, MA, USA, December 27, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- When the jaw doesn’t function properly – due to an misaligned bite, arthritis, overuse, or teeth clenching or grinding – it can give rise to a condition known as temporomandibular joint disorder (or “TMJ”). Although this is a common disorder, it can have a complex and far-reaching impact on quality of life. — Dr. Jamie Chan DMD
According to Dr. Jamie Chan, TMJ Dentist at Woburn Dentistry, many of TMJ the symptoms overlap with unrelated medical conditions, which can make it challenging to recognize and diagnose. Some of the symptoms include: headaches, jaw or facial pain, problems chewing or swallowing, earaches, and/or ringing in the ears.
Neuromuscular dentistry is a non-surgical, non-invasive dental technique that uses high-tech methods to relax and remove stress from the jaw muscles. For instance, Dr. Chan sometimes recommends stress reduction methods, such as placing a warm, moistened cloth on the affected area and the temporary use of a custom-fitted mouth guard and anti-inflammatory medication.
