Local Dentist Completes Advanced Training:

Did you know that the way your teeth come together can cause headaches, pain in the jaw, sore muscles, neck pain, limited range of motion of the neck, upper and lower back pain, poor posture, pressure behind the eyes, stuffy ears, ringing in the ears, grinding teeth, breaking teeth, dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, and more. All these symptoms can be due to a bite being off by less than a millimeter.

A local dentist, Dr. Melicia K. Tjoa, has recently completed advanced dental training at LVI, the world's premier post-graduate teaching center. While at LVI, Dr. Tjoa learned how to identify and potentially alleviate these conditions to bring patients to a more comfortable life through neuromuscular dentistry.

Neuromuscular dentistry is a modern advancement based on the understanding that the temporomandibular joints (jaw joints) need to be in an ideal comfortable resting position for the best comfort of the joints, muscles, bones and teeth. This comfortable position is based on the guidance of muscles and stabilized by the bite position of both the upper and lower teeth.

For more information or to see if you are a candidate for this treatment, please contact Dr. Tjoa at (713) 660-0966.
