A common problem after tooth replacement, orthodontic work, and esthetic treatments is that the face does not yet adapt to the new set of teeth. This is natural, since these treatments affect not only the teeth, but also the chewing muscles and the temporomandibular joint, so they need to adapt and regenerate. Facial physiotherapy offers help with this.
Off balance
The balance of your posture can be linked to wide range of issues, including headaches, toothache, various chewing and swallowing disorders, neck and shoulder pain, backache, dizziness, tinnitus, eye disorders, ringing in the ears and morning fatigue. An imbalance in your posture can also cause trouble for your teeth, potentially causing surface abrasion, increased sensitivity, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.
Restoring balance isn't only vital in order to eliminate problematic symptoms. Responsible dental treatment should also only performed with a patient whose body is in balance. This is because what happens in the mouth can impact other parts of the body, in the same way that old injuries or giving birth can affect your temporomandibular joint and your teeth.
Which is why at the RMC Dental Center, we work closely with our chiropractors and speech and language therapists to complete our treatment.
