Oral Myology for Adults
Many adults suffer from chronic pain and problems in their teeth, jaws and face. Some people destroy expensive dental work without obvious cause. Others have an ill-defined discomfort during eating or speaking. These problems often stump well-trained clinicians and the problems can linger for years.
Many times, there is a functional reason for these problems that an Oral Myologist can pick up on. You'll be surprised by what can be learned in an OM exam. And it's safe and non-invasive. Touch base for a qualified oral myologist in your area.
