Neck and Facial Pain

Are you one of the growing percent of Canadians who experience neck or facial pain? If so, you may find that the problem is best treated by a dentist trained to perform neuromuscular dentistry. Neck and facial pain are common symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). While they can be symptoms of many other problems as well, don’t overlook the possibility of finding a final solution to your pain through a TMD dental examination.

Willow Dental Associates offers neuromuscular dentistry to patients in the Toronto area treating headaches, neck and facial pain, particularly when they have not responded to other treatment. Migraine headaches are also a common symptom of TMD, and these can trigger pain anywhere in the upper body. Tension that puts pressure on nerves, as in cases such as TMD, can cause pain to radiate away from its source, affecting other parts of the body.

There is no reason for anyone to have to live with neck or facial pain, or migraine headaches any more. Treatment for TMD has been successful in relieving pain associated with migraines, such as neck and facial pain.

If you are among those suffering from neck and facial pain or headaches in the Toronto area please contact Willow Dental Associates for an evaluation.
