TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Talks about TMJ Disorder
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA You know, there’s something that has been getting a lot of attention
lately. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT You mean me?
People have been looking at me a lot since I had my teeth whitened.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA That’s very nice. But I meant TMJ.
FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT Who is TMJ? TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA TMJ is not
a who. It is a what. TMJ is the name of the joint that connects
your upper and lower jaws. TMJ stands for Temp-oro-man-dib-ular Joint.
FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT Wow, that’s quite a mouthful.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA TMJ dysfunction is no laughing matter. It can cause people
a lot of problems, and possibly a third of the people in the United NYs have it. FOUNTAIN
VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT A third? Wow. What kinds of problems?
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA One of the most common is chronic headaches.
FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT Oooh, I hate headaches.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Not only that, but they can also cause aching in the jaw,
cheek or teeth. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT I hate aching
in the jaw, cheek or teeth. TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Or dizziness
or nausea. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT I hate dizziness
or nausea. TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Or hearing
loss. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT What’d you
say? TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Or pain in
the neck or shoulders. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT What’d you
say? TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Or ringing
in the ears. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT What’s that
sound I’m hearing? TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Now that was
a joke. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT I keep trying.
But seriously, this sounds serious. TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA The TMJ is
one of most complicated joints in the entire body. The patient may not even feel that their
jaw is misaligned. But they feel tension in the jaw or face, neck aches, shoulder pain,
and recurring headaches. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT Did I mention
I hate headaches? TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA They may have
gone to different doctors without success and end up taking medication for the headaches
but never solve the problem. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT So what is
the problem? TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Most often
it is a problem with the bite. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT The bite?
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA The alignment of the teeth. It can be a single tooth that
doesn’t match up when you close your jaw, or it can be several teeth.
FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT Can that be fixed?
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Yes, a TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA can fix it. Sometimes
simply by reshaping teeth that aren’t matching up. Or with veneers or crowns. Or braces will
solve the problem. Also simple mouth guards can fix the whole thing.That’s what a TMJ
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA can figure out. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT You must be
a genius. TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Yes, I am.
Often a person who has had headaches for years will find they suddenly stop. It can be life
changing. It is amazing. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT That's amazing.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Now - this misalignment in the jaw can also come from
a car accident - like with whiplash - or some other physical trauma.
FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT physical trauma can’t be a good thing.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Once we’ve determined and corrected any bite problems,
the patient may also benefit by help from a chiropractor.
FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT Chiropractor? TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Yes. If the
TMJ problem has existed for some time, the jaw, head, neck or shoulders all the way down
to the spine, even the feet could be tense and misaligned, and need assistance to relax
and re-align so that the jaw does not go out of alignment again.
FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT A chiropractor can help with that.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Yes. It’s also possible a misalignment in the spine
or shoulders or neck could be causing the TMJ dysfunction. So once those are corrected,
the TMJ problem goes away. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT Fantastic.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Sometimes people go to chiropractors first when they have headaches
or other problems. But if the adjustments don’t solve the problem, then they should
see a TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA to see if the bite may be part of the problem.
FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT It’s kind of like you all work together.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Well, the body’s parts all work together. They’re very interconnected.
For example, gum disease in the mouth can seriously affect other areas of the body.
FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT Really? TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Yes. The body
is fantastic - and complex. That’s why we sometimes need to involve doctors from multiple
disciplines to treat it. FOUNTAIN VALLYE DENTAL PATIENT Wow. You really are brilliant.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA I like to think so.
TMJ DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA Remember, regular visits to a DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLYE CA can
help you discover health problems early. See YOU - at your next dental visit!
