Come experience this servant-leader model of health-care today!Dentistry: Dr Hale has been living with the pain and problems of a bad bite for decades. He has experienced virtually every symptom that is associated with TMD. In his search for answers, he has studied every occlusal philosophy and traveled the world. It was not until meeting Dr Chan at Occlusion Connections where the answers were found. Occlusion Connections is where very traditional bite management (gnathology) and the most cutting edge science and technology (neuromuscular) comes together. This method of dentistry is called Gnueromuscular Dentistry [Gnathology + Nueromuscular]. Due to the intense focus on the fundamentals of dentistry, we are able to excel in the most advanced and complex cases! On a personal note, Dr Hale has been pain free for years now thanks to Gneuromuscular Dentistry*!A gneuromuscular dentist* focuses on the muscles, teeth, nerves and joints that allow your jaw to move. This field of dentistry is based on the understanding that these must be in a healthy position to avoid tension with the occlusion (how the teeth fit together when you close down). Therefore, the number one goal is to find the ideal, relaxed position of your jaw joint and muscles, and then train your jaw to achieve that position at all times.
Gneuromuscular dentistry can help alleviate symptoms such as neck, back and shoulder pain, headaches, jaw pain and tinnitus or ringing in your ears. If you are experiencing these symptoms, or suffer from unexplained migraines, or pain and popping and grinding in your jaw, you should see a gneuromuscular dentist like Dr. Brian Hale.
Sonography: this records jaw sounds. Jaw sound recordings help determine the type of sound in your jaw joint, and the location. Clicking, grinding, popping, grating and scraping sounds may be identified to isolate particular problems with the function of your jaw joint.Transcutaneous Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation (TENS): by stimulating the jaw muscles using this method, lactic acid is flushed out and your muscles will be infused with fresh blood and oxygen. This allows your muscles to relax.
