Head and Neck Pain

There are many people who suffer with chronic head and neck pain. For many of these folks there have been no answers for them. The medical community gives them medication and teaches them how to live with the pain.

Bioesthetic dentistry offers a solution for many of these sufferers. The pain is a result of the misalignment of the lower jaw to the skull. Following bioesthetic principles, the jaw can be aligned properly. This alignment allows the muscles of the head and neck to relax, thus leading to an end of chronic muscle pain.

What is this bioesthetics?

Bioesthetic dentistry is a training I have been involved with over the last three years. It is an advanced bite rejuvenation technique. The main goals of bioesthetics is to create an optimal bite and a beautiful smile.

What differentiates bioestheics from other forms of bite rejuvenation, is that bioesthetics has found a way to truly align the lower jaw with the skull. With this alignment, comes other benefits from the process. TMJ problems can be resolved. Chronic headaches, migraines and neck and shoulder pain can be remedied. Gum recession and worn teeth can be stopped.

I am excited to be able to offer this treatment to central Vermont. If you or someone you know could benefit from this treatment, please visit my website for more information.

Decay and the maturing patient

A trend I have been seeing lately is more decay in our older patients. I think this is a result of a few factors. One is that people are keeping their teeth longer. We see many older patients who still have a majority of their teeth. If the patient's daily care is not adequate, this leaves bacterial plaque on the teeth for long periods of time.

Most older patients have had some form of bone loss over the years. This exposes the roots of the teeth which are more prone to decay. With the plaque laying on the roots decay is much more likely to begin and then more rapidly progress.

My advice is to be meticulous with one's daily care. This means brushing and flossing adequately every day. We have a scoring system for plaque removal. This will allow you to see how you are doing. Talk to you hygienist about how you are doing.

Check out my video on the website on how to brush and floss properly.
