Dental health and your overall health are very much connected. It’s why we offer a number of important treatments and products that can prevent problems or contribute to healthy living—whether directly related to your teeth or not.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
TMJ disorder is a jaw problem that causes inflammation in your jaw bone, often leading to pain, headaches, and difficulty opening your mouth. A diagnosis of TMJ disorder begins with a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw, and treatments include medication, physiotherapy, orthodontic treatment of bite issues or grinding, and massage or stretches.
Guards and bite correction
Custom-made guards can help prevent your teeth from being injured by impacts and by nighttime grinding and clenching. If you play contact sports, a guard will help absorb the impact of a hit. And if you clench your jaw while you sleep, a bite appliance will prevent grinding by holding your teeth in place.
