The Neuromuscular Dentist
Traditional dentistry primarily evaluates teeth, bones and gums verses Neuromuscular Dentistry which works with the hard and soft tissues, muscles and nerves. Neuromuscular Dentists understand that your hard and soft tissues have a complex relationship and work to make it a harmonious one.
Dr. Deldar understands the necessity for including the power source (muscles) and the controls (nervous system) which creates the movement, force and function of the mouth.
Neuromuscular Dentistry can help alleviate symptoms such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, jaw pain, clicking or popping in the jaw, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The majority of Americans suffer from one or more of these symptoms, and unfortunately in many cases these patients’ symptoms are either misdiagnosed or dismissed as having no physiological cause. In a number of cases, these symptoms can actually be attributed to TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), also referred to as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) or MPD (myofascial pain dysfunction). These terms are just different names for the same group of symptoms.
The benefits of seeing a Neuromuscular Dentist such as Dr. Deldar is decreased or eliminated pain and discomfort for better over all health and longer lasting dental restorations.
