Neuromuscular Dentistry

As a Neuromuscular Dentist, Dr. Rose includes the muscles, nerves, and supporting structures of the mouth in a thorough evaluation. Recent advancements in technology have allowed Dr. Rose to measure more accurately the most comfortable position for muscles, teeth and jaw. Neuromuscular dentistry can help achieve the best comfort and health.

"Happy Muscles"
Happy muscles work together in harmony and when finished working, rest more comfortably. When muscles rest and are comfortable they can reduce many symptoms including grinding, wearing, and pushing of the teeth.

The nerves and muscles that control and guide our jaw during movement can become tense, sore, and spastic. These unhappy muscles can contribute to a significant amount of pain, tension and lower the quality of comfort in and around our mouths.

Unhappy muscles can contribute or cause a wide assortment of problems including: painful teeth, gum disease, painful clicking or popping jaw joints (TMD), hearing and ear problems (dizziness, chronic ear infections, ringing), headaches, face, neck and back pain, tingling in the fingers, sleep problems, chipped and warn teeth. Painful muscles inside our heads are sometimes behind the bones and hard to reach and touch.

Sonography
Sonography enables Dr. Rose to accurately measure joint sounds. These measurements help diagnose the quality, quantity and location of sound during movement indicating the amount of clicking, popping, grinding, scraping and screeching taking place in the joint. During and after treatment, these sounds can be compared and the improvement in healing monitored. Unhappy muscles can cause joint sounds.

TENS
Traditional dental treatment is built to fit your existing dental conditions and problems. TENSing (Transcutaneous Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation) the muscles works out the lactic acid and works in fresh blood, oxygen and nourishment for the muscles. This helps relax the muscles. Relaxed happy muscles and nerves are the foundation for most dental treatment.

Electromyography
Electromyography is technologically monitoring the electrical activity and tension in a muscle. Not unlike a physician taking an EKG of the heart, Dr. Rose can monitor and record the muscles of chewing. One of the most exciting aspects of the EMG is the ability to measure the accurate fit of the teeth when biting. Precise adjustments of crowns, fillings and teeth not only help teeth last longer but reduce disease and improve the comfort of muscles and teeth.

Jaw Tracking
This includes full range of motion, velocity, and rest position before and after relaxation, the most relaxed range, and the best position of the jaw for muscle function. Jaw positioning helps position the teeth so the joints and muscles are most comfortable. Teeth are victims of unhappy muscles. If the muscles are not happy, the teeth can chip, break, wear and can die; toothaches and temperature sensitivities develop; and gum disease increases. Unhappy muscles can wear out your teeth and dental work. For the longest lasting dental treatment and best health, Dr. Rose is pleased to offer you the best in neuromuscular dentistry.
