TMJ Therapy

Do you Have Occlusal Disease?

Occlusal disease is a term that covers a number of pathological conditions associated with the bite, jaw muscles and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).  Some experts believe that Occlusal Disease is the number one cause of tooth loss, and number one cause of fillings and crowns breaking and needing to be replaced.  

Occlusal disease is a very serious condition that causes unnatural wear and damage to your teeth, often requiring expensive repairs.  Damage is not limited to your teeth.  It can also affect the tissues that support your teeth, and lead to facial pain and headaches.   

Dr. Abeyta will assess your signs and symptoms to see if you suffer from this condition.
