Causes of Facial Pain

Facial pain can stem from various sources, impacting facial and oral muscles. Facial pain can arise from various conditions, including:

  • Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Persistent teeth grinding can lead to jaw discomfort and facial pain.
  • Dental Abscess: Infections in the teeth or gums can cause throbbing facial pain.
  • TMJ Disorder: Dysfunction of the jaw joint can result in chronic jaw and facial discomfort.

How Do We Treat Facial Pain?

Oral Myology

At Evolution Dental Care, our approach to treating facial pain encompasses advanced techniques tailored to each patient's needs. Oral myology forms a cornerstone of our treatment methodology, involving targeted exercises that strengthen oral and facial muscles. These exercises not only enhance facial function but also improve essential activities like chewing, swallowing, breathing, and maintaining proper posture.

Laser Therapy- Photobiomodulation (PBM)

Laser therapy using light induces a complex of chain reactions on tissues, molecular and cellular levels of the body to accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration, increase circulation, reduce acute inflammation, chronic pain and help restore normal cellular function.

 

Using PBM we are able to target pain from the TMJ area including: Clicking / Popping, Locking of Jaw, Clenching, Bruxism, Grinding, Stiffness, Pain.

Fast and Functional Neuromyofascial Technique

Our Clinic offers Fast and Functional Neuromyofascial Technique, a specialised approach that utilises precise soft tissue manipulation to swiftly resolve pain and restore optimal movement. This technique is patient-centred, allowing real-time adjustments based on feedback during treatment to achieve immediate pain relief and functional improvement.

Myo Munchee

The Myo Munchee is an innovative oral appliance frequently used in our practice, particularly beneficial for children undergoing myofunctional therapy. This simple yet effective device aids in oral muscle exercise, promoting nasal breathing, enhancing chewing efficiency, and supporting proper facial growth and tooth development. It also helps in correcting habits like sucking, contributing to comprehensive oral health care from a young age.
