Treatment for TMJ dysfunction may be required when you experience symptoms severely enough. If you ever feel extreme pain in the joints and muscles on either side of your jaw, call on your dentist as soon as you can.

Seeking Treatment for TMJ

Pinpointing the origin of your pain can be difficult, as there are often several reasons for a case of TMJ dysfunction to act up. While the condition can affect anyone, it surfaces more frequently in women than in men. The latest research indicates that certain hormonal fluctuations in women can create functional problems with the temporomandibular joint.

Our dental center is well equipped and expertly staffed to correctly diagnose TMJ dysfunction and prescribe TMJ treatment. Whatever the reason for your TMJ pain, the experienced dentist takes effective action to diminish your pain and address the source. Don’t hesitate to visit your family dentist, since jaw pain can spread to your face, your ears, and even your eyes.

Causes of TMJ Dysfunction
TMJ pain can come from a specific incident or from long-term wear and tear. For younger adults, TMJ is usually due to overuse and stress on the jaw muscle because of teeth grinding or jaw clenching. Sleep apnea sufferers also can experience TMJ for the same reason, resulting in muscle spasms in the jaw area.

For older people, the condition is usually linked to the breakdown of the joint muscle and cartilage due to rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Both of these diseases can weaken the jawbone, making you susceptible to fractures at the slightest trauma or accident. You can also suffer from jaw pain if your dentures or denture implants don’t fit you properly. Other causes for TMJ include:

Sports-related injuries where your jaw was directly hit
Injuries you get from accidents such as a car crash or bad fall
A misalignment of teeth, causing stress to your jaw whenever you chew
Tooth decay or a tooth infection that results in pulpitis or periodontitis

An even, appealing smile has never been easier to get at a dental center, not far away in Stamford, Connecticut. Achieve a youthful look with clear plastic trays, called aligners that do the work of metal braces without the shine. Combined with state-of-the-art, sophisticated 3D software employed by your Stamford dentists, this technology delivers straight smiles to most adults and mature teens.

The benefits of Invisalign are due to the medical-grade plastic that you can even remove the trays for short periods of time to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

You can enjoy your favorite foods with Invisalign. Go ahead, eat that apple. There is no intrusion of brackets and wires. The smooth surfaces of the plastic provide your cheeks and tongue a comfort level unlike any other form of orthodontics.

Gentle Straightening for Crooked Teeth
Invisalign pain is nearly non-existent. The slight discomfort you initially feel is due to the mild pressure on your teeth as they move. For the best and fastest results, Invisalign candidates must be willing to wear the aligners as much as possible, even approaching 24 hours a day.

Types of Dental Bridges

A bridge can be either fixed or removable. Fixed bridges are the most common, but they necessitate crowns on both sides. These crowns are hollow, and the bridge attachment is permanently cemented into the crowns by your dentist. The artificial teeth are implanted between the crowns. A removable bridge is called a denture and is anchored by metal clasps.

Maryland bonded bridges are primarily used to replace missing front teeth. Metal wings on these resin-bonded bridges attach to your existing teeth. Traditional fixed bridges are the most common and have a lifespan of up to 15 years or more. However, when attached to dental implants, a permanent bridge can last for more than 20 years.

A molar pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy, which results from abnormal fertilization. The molar pregnancy itself is not dangerous, but if left untreated inside of the uterus it will lead to a uterine cancer, called choriocarcinoma. This means that molar pregnancy is also a precancerous condition. A molar pregnancy is also known as hydatiform mole.
As mentioned before a hydatiform mole results from an abnormal fertilization. During this abnormal fertilization, the tissue that normally forms the fetus and the placenta, in molar pregnancy will form an abnormal cystic mass. The cysts have a characteristic form of grapes.
There are two types of molar pregnancy:

– complete
– incomplete

The Difference Between a Complete and Incomplete Mole
Both complete and incomplete mole will result from an abnormal fertilization.
An complete one results from the fertilization of two spermatozoids and an egg which has no genetic material, while an incomplete mole results from the fertilization of two spermatozoids and a normal egg. The embryo created in this case will have 69 chromosomes instead of 46 chromosomes that a normal embryo has.
A complete mole only consists of a cystic mass with a characteristic form of a grape, while an incomplete mole has also fetal parts together with an abnormal cystic mass.
Both complete and incomplete mole will not lead to creation of a normal embryo and development of a normal fetus. In an incomplete molar pregnancy the embryo will begin to develop but it is malformed and can’t survive.

At Professional Gynecological Services we believe that patients may have a wide array of questions prior to having a termination of pregnancy. As medical providers our job is to facilitate answers to all those questions.

The following information has been designed to answer the most common questions that you may have. We invite you to read the information below carefully and want you to feel free to speak live with any of our trained medical assistants by calling 718.875.4848.

Abortion Facts

Most terminations of pregnancies are performed during the first trimester of the pregnancy. Therefore, the procedure becomes one of the safest outpatient procedures in the United States. It is eight times safer than a vaginal delivery. At Professional Gynecological Services, our complication rates are very low because of our qualified physicians and staff as well as the cleanliness and sterility throughout our office.

Each year, almost half of all pregnancies among American women are unintended. About half of these unplanned pregnancies, 1.3 million each year, are ended by abortion.

There are many myths and misconceptions about who gets abortions, and why. The fact is that the women who have abortions come from all racial, ethnic, socioeconomic and religious backgrounds.
