Headaches and TMJ disorders
 One out of every 10 Americans
suffers from
chronic headaches, and they spend over half a billion dollars
every year for over-the-counter medications to relieve their pain. They
never imagine that their headaches may be caused by TMJ, and that their
pain is the result of a bad bite.
At Bruce W Hanson DDS we know a bad bite can put your jaw-to-skull relationship out of alignment.
When this happens, TMJ symptoms occur. This cluster
of symptoms can include: headaches, earaches, ear ringing, loud jaw
clicking, even stiffness and pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders and
back, broken and lost teeth, and sensitive teeth. This cluster has
puzzled doctors in the past. Now we can put a name to it: TMJ.
According to recent studies, more than 40 million Americans (including
many in the Kent, Auburn & Renton areas) suffer with
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) or MPD (Myofascial Pain
Dysfunction). The good news is that we at Bruce W Hanson DDS can help.
If you, or someone you love, suffer from the symptoms of TMJ, set up an
appointment by calling us at (253) 852-4508 soon. You may find that TMJ is the missing
piece in the puzzle -- and, that the treatment works!
