While
headaches are perhaps the most common reason
for physician visits, most patients do not
usually think of mentioning headaches to
their dentist. Muscles controlling the jaw
are frequently the site of head and neck
pain resulting from a poorly aligned bite.
The field of Neuromuscular Dentistry now
equips the specially trained and equipped
dentist to rule in or rule out imperfections
in the bite as a source of headache.
Dr.
Escoto & Dr.
Mantovani have recently completed specialized
post-graduate training that included studies
of headache diagnosis. They have also obtained
the specialized, computer based instrumentation
that permits them to do precision studies
of jaw function and related muscles, both
at rest and in function.
