Natural tooth-colored fillings were created as an alternative to traditional metal dental fillings (or Amalgam fillings). Tooth fillings that are colored to look like a natural tooth are known as Composite Resin Dental Fillings and are made of a plastic dental resin. Composite Resin Dental Fillings are not only strong, durable, and offer a more aesthetically pleasing result, they avoid the use of mercury found in traditional metal fillings. Dr. Sands offers tooth-colored fillings to his patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and Santa Monica, California.

Neuromuscular dentistry addresses the relationship of the relaxed muscles of the jaw, head and neck to body posture. Thirty years of research and clinical experience have shown the neuromuscular technique to be effective in treating people with various levels of head and neck pain. Many people suffer from unexplained pain in their face, jaw, or teeth, sometimes referred to as Myofascial Pain Dysfunction [MPD], and are not sure of the origin of their condition or how to solve it. You may have heard of other terms that describe this condition such as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder [TMD], Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome [TMJ], or Craniomandibular Dysfunction [CMD]. Chicago neuromuscular dentist Dr. Simos offers a no cost consultation to discuss your concerns .

Whether it’s a cause or an effect, teeth clenching and grinding creates tension in the muscles that do the clenching and grinding. Over time, that tension builds up and the muscles can go into spasm. If that happens, they can pinch the nerves nearby. When the nerves are pinched that run down the arms and into the fingers, it causes tingling and/or numbness. The neck and shoulders are directly connected to the muscles and nerves of the jaw area. If you have chronic neck and shoulder pain, San Ramon neuromuscular dentist Dr. Anderson will be glad to listen to your concerns, and answer questions.
