Neuromuscular Dentistry in Verona, New Jersey

With neuromuscular dentistry care from Verona Dental Arts, you can protect your teeth while you sleep!

Do you frequently awaken to pain in your jaw, shoulders, or neck? Does your jaw pop or click during normal daily functions, such as chewing or speaking? Even regular headaches can be symptoms of the same problem. Bruxism, or grinding teeth during sleep, is a common nighttime habit of people worldwide, but it often goes unnoticed by those who do it! This stress-induced occurrence is usually taken note of by a bed partner, who hears the action, or by a dentist, who sees the physical damage it wreaks on a patient’s teeth. Don’t let your sleep do more harm than good; see Dr. Scurti and the team at Verona Dental Arts for neuromuscular dentistry care today!

The most common fix for someone who is affected by night grinding is to provide them with a night guard, which is an oral appliance that prevents the teeth along their upper gums and lower gums from touching. This eliminates the opportunity for their teeth to wear each other away throughout the night. However, this only answers one part of the dilemma that night grinding and clenching poses. To fully respond to the trouble at hand, please make a neuromuscular dentistry appointment today with Dr. Scurti.

The discipline of neuromuscular dentistry examines the entire jaw and dental system as a whole, taking the muscles, tendons, and skeletal structure into account when considering steps to take for treatment. Dr. Scurti can work to realign your bite into the proper place without causing further damage to your head. Neuromuscular dentistry is a delicate science, and the entire team of Verona Dental Arts is ready to help you better your oral function with this approach.
