THE HOLIDAYS ARE A JOYFUL TIME, BUT THE SEASON CAN ALSO BE STRESSFUL. LOTS OF WORRY CAN LEAD TO CHRONIC FACIAL PAIN. MORE THAN 15 PERCENT OF AMERICANS SUFFER FROM HEADACHES, TENDERNESS OF THE JAW AND CLICKING OR POPPING NOISES WHILE CHEWING. NECK AND BACK PAIN IS ALSO COMMON.

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SYMPTOMS, YOU MAY BE SUFFERING FROM TMD, OR TEMPERO MANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDER.

MANY PHYSICIANS AND DENTISTS HAVE TROUBLE DIAGNOSING TMD, BUT NEUROMUSCULAR DENTISTS ARE TRAINED TO DETECT IT AND TREAT IT WITHOUT USING PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
