A Neuromuscular Dentist is specially trained in the branch of Dentistry that diagnoses and treats the proper alignment of the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint) and how it affects the surrounding muscles and nerves.  The relationship between the teeth, jaw joint and surrounding tissues is among the most complex in the human body.  General dentists are usually trained to focus on the health of the teeth and gums alone.

You should seek a qualified neuromuscular dentist if you are experiencing any of these symptoms:

• Headaches
• Jaw Pain
• Neck and/or shoulder pain
• Pain or noises in the ears
• Clicking of the jaw joint
• Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands

Your neuromuscular dentist has a special focus on the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ (or TMD).  TMJ disorders produce the symptoms listed above and can be caused by many factors such as accidents, misaligned teeth or even stress.  Diagnosis and treatment of TMJ problems are highly effective, often relieving pain that has haunted patients for years.

Dr. Mark Levy use state-of-the-art technology to discover the correct alignment for your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) – one in which the surrounding muscles are relaxed and nerves quiet.  With this correct alignment comes relief from pain.  If you are suffering from recurring headaches or facial pain in the Columbus, Ohio area please contact your neuromuscular dentist at 614-476-6696 today.
