AMARILLO, TEXAS -- June is National Headache Awareness month, and more than eight million of you at home, suffer from migraines.
If your doctor can't seem to help... maybe you should check with your dentist? Sounds strange, but a type of dentistry called Neuromuscular dentistry is a special way of looking at muscles in your mouth to diagnose and create the most relaxed, and healthy, jaw and muscle relationship.
This machine shows the dentist how your natural teeth fit together, if it's not right, that can cause other muscles to have to strain. "When the jaw closing muscles get tired, they need help and so they recruit the neck muscles to help them and then when those get tired it can spread on down to into the neck, shoulder, and back," said Clinton Esler, D.D.S LDIF, a dentist with the Esler Dental Group.
Only about one percent of dentists are trained in this specific field and we do have one right here in Amarillo. You can reach the Esler Dental Group at (806) 358 - 8021
