We offer a
comprehensive program to control chronic
orofacial, head, and neck pain. The most
common symptoms that patients have are:
headaches, yaw pain, jaw clicking and popping,
painful opening and chewing, neck pain, ear
aches, and toothaches.
| Pain patterns
may look like this: |
|
|
|
|
Headache that originates in the
temporalis muscle is very common among
headache sufferers. |
|
|
| Ear aches and tooth
aches that don’t respond to normal
treatments may be due to referred pain
from the muscles of mastication. Also the
jaw joint (TMJ) is right in front of the
ear canal, so pain in this joint may be
felt as ear pain.

A treatment program is
tailored to each patient’s needs which will
include from 3 to 6 visits, and can be
programmed in 1 to 2 weeks. After this the
patient will be taught a maintenance program
which will be followed at home, to continue
managing the problem. In many occasions a
mandibular intra oral appliance will be made
to help control habits and bruxism. The rate
of success after 1 year is very high if the
patient continues to follow a simple
maintenance program at home.
NO MEDICATIONS
In most cases the treatment will not involve
medications.
We can also combine this
treatment with other dental needs such as
dental restorations and Periodontics.
Many patients have
visited us from the United States, Canada, and
Spain, and since the treatment, have been able
to feel free of pain.

PERIODONTAL
DISEASE AND TREATMENT:
Periodontal or gum
disease is a bacterial infection. Dental
plaque (bacteria) and calculus (tartar)
can penetrate between your gum and the
root of your teeth creating bone loss. The
amount of treatment required will depend
on the severity of the disease. In the
early stages, gum disease is generally
treated with non surgical procedures
called scaling and root planning. If the
disease is more advanced periodontal
surgery may be required. Periodontal
plastic surgery can also improve the
appearance of your smile. Your sustained
oral health is based on regular dental
examinations and cleanings.
Dr. Oreamuno is
current in all periodontal surgical
procedures. Some of these procedures are:
- Periodontal plastic surgery (gingival
grafts and others)
- Osseous surgery,
- Crown lengthening procedures,
- Regeneration
techniques such as bone grafts, guided
tissue regeneration, etc.
