In a healthy chewing system, all components – teeth, gums, jaw joints, nerves, and muscles – work together harmoniously so that a person can chew, swallow, speak, and convey beauty. The chewing system will always find a way for teeth to fit and work together, regardless of the harmful consequences.
Common Problems:
When chewing surfaces of teeth are altered, the nerves direct the muscles to constantly distract the jaw from the joints to align with the teeth. Because muscles are in constant contraction, they go into a spasm. The muscles constantly pulling on the discs of the jaw cause serious wear and tear and all components begin to break down. Teeth get overly sensitive to cold and heat, get worn and loose due to grinding and tender when you bite. A person can suffer from headaches, pain behind his eyes and pain in his neck and shoulders because of muscle spasms. Sufferers can experience pain and even annoying noises in the jaw joints.
This is why it is so important that a dentist duplicate the chewing surfaces as close as possible when restoring teeth so patients can enjoy healthy, comfortable and beautiful teeth. VIP Dentistry can!
