Neuromuscular Dentistry in Whitehall, PA

Neuromuscular dentistry uses the advanced understanding of oral structures in dentistry to focus on the health and optimization of the jaws, muscles, bone and teeth in order to help you achieve maximum health, beauty and functionality for your smile. Our dentist will thoroughly evaluate the posture of each of these structures, including your neck and body as a whole, and how they work together for you in order to identify and correct any issues that may be causing you pain or discomfort. When your occlusal (bite) stability and muscular balance are optimized, you can avoid painful side effects, such as:

• Popping, clicking or grinding of the TMJ
• Pain or difficulty chewing
• Chronic migraines
• Pain in the neck, shoulders, ears or face
• Ringing in the ears
• Increased tooth sensitivity

If you or a family member is suffering with any of the above, we recommend visiting our dentist and team for neuromuscular dentistry. This may include correcting misalignment in the teeth or jaws or addressing issues in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). By addressing these issues at their source instead of simply managing symptoms, neuromuscular dentistry can help you find long-lasting solutions to jaw, head and facial pain. You can learn more about the benefits of our neuromuscular dental treatments by planning your consultation with our office. We look forward to helping you find relief.

Achieving optimal oral health depends on more than just what happens within the oral cavity itself. Using neuromuscular dentistry, our dentist, Dr. Michael E. Kun, can look at the way your facial and neck muscles interact with your teeth and jaw, as well as your posture and balance of all the forces working on your mouth in general. We will use this whole-head approach to help you find relief from head, jaw and neck pain. If you are in need of neuromuscular dentistry in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, please call Michael E. Kun at 610-709-6774 for more information.
