Chronic Pain

Relieve Chronic Pain with Holistic Dental Care at Valley View Dental Health & Wellness

Living with chronic pain can affect every aspect of your life. At Valley View Dental Health & Wellness, we recognize the intricate connection between oral health and chronic pain. Using a holistic approach, our team works to address underlying dental and oral issues that may be contributing to your discomfort, providing safe, natural solutions to help you find relief.

How Oral Health Impacts Chronic Pain

Chronic pain often stems from issues in the jaw, head, neck, and even the alignment of your teeth. Common conditions that link oral health to chronic pain include:

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD)

Jaw tension and misalignment can cause headaches, facial pain, and neck discomfort.

Teeth Grinding and Clenching (Bruxism)

Chronic grinding places strain on muscles and joints, leading to pain in the face, jaw, and temples.

Bite Misalignment (Malocclusion)

An uneven bite can create muscle tension and discomfort that radiates throughout the body.

Oral Inflammation or Infection

Gum disease and other oral conditions can trigger systemic inflammation, contributing to pain in other areas of the body.

Holistic Treatments for Chronic Pain

At Valley View Dental, we take a comprehensive, whole-body approach to address the root causes of chronic pain. Our treatments include:

TMJ/TMD Therapy

Relieve jaw pain and tension with customized treatments, including bite adjustments, gentle jaw exercises, and natural therapies like cold laser treatment or craniosacral therapy.

Custom Nightguards

Protect your teeth and jaw from the effects of grinding and clenching with a comfortable, custom-fitted nightguard.

Myofunctional Therapy

Retrain the muscles of your face and mouth to improve oral posture and reduce tension that can lead to pain.

Bite Adjustments

Correcting an uneven bite can alleviate stress on your jaw and surrounding muscles, providing relief from chronic discomfort.

Stress Reduction Techniques

Chronic stress often exacerbates pain. We offer relaxation-focused care, including guided breathing exercises and aromatherapy, to help you unwind.

Oral Inflammation Management

Treating gum disease and other oral health conditions reduces inflammation, which can significantly impact chronic pain levels.
