content 05 Imagine Life Without Headaches

Can you imagine life without headaches? Many people suffer from the intense pain of migraine headaches on a regular basis and resort to pain killers to alleviate their agony. However, many times these headaches are merely a symptom of a common jaw disorder called TemporoMandibular Joint Disorder (TMD).

TMD is a very uncomfortable, and for the most parts, debilitating disorder of the jaw joints. TMD headaches are generally tension headaches, but they frequently escalate into migraine headaches. The tension occurs from constant clenching of the jaw, or from night-time grinding (bruxing) of the teeth.

The good news is there are treatment options available to help alleviate the headaches and other symptoms caused by TMD as well as treating the cause of the problem.

At Advanced Dental Care Clinic we use the latest techniques to treat your pain without drugs by gently realigning the muscles and nerves in your TemporoMandibular Joint, or TMD. Harmony and balance between the teeth, muscles and jaw joints of the head and neck allow freedom for the body to function. With the head and neck in a neutral position, it reduces stress on the rest of the body.

Dr. Ruth Parrag can assist patients who may be suffering from conditions beyond traditional dentistry such as TMD. Dr. Parrag works with her patients to help alleviate painful symptoms, be comfortable and lead healthy lives.
