Neuromuscular Dentistry
Neuromuscular dentistry is an area of dentistry that focuses on the teeth, the nerves, muscles, and joints related to the jaw. If you’ve been having neck pain and headaches, perhaps you’ve attributed them to stress from work, or to family or financial pressures. However, recurring neck pain, headaches, jaw tension, and mouth soreness may be symptoms of a serious disorder called TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome.
