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.
