TMJ treatment:  Improving your  sleep, wellbeing, vitality, and ability to adapt

Improving oral function has far reaching effects on one’s overall health.  When you help even one patient with TMJ dysfunction, reducing  pain and/or stiffness,  experienced in the head, jaw, mouth throat, neck and shoulders, the patients’ other systems and body parts are affected secondarily  Our office takes a holistic approach to all dental treatment we provide.  It is our hope that these other symptoms and parts are secondarily  somehow improved.  By improving a patient’s oral function we have seen how it can positively change the patients’ relationships with children, spouse, parents, friends, and work.  As one gets out of pain and survival mode the very way patients view and interact with the world may evolve, going up the psychologist Maslow’s level on hierarchy. Dr. Seal has worked for years with Dr. Farrand Robson DDS, the Doctor who discovered and continues to develop Oral Systemic Biology.
