Since music has a proven connection to mood, scientists are studying if music can help the jaw muscles too… At Oakville North Dentistry our dentists are trained to look for joint or bite problems. Once a thorough diagnosis has been made, our dentists might recommend a non surgical , conservative treatment like an easy to wear, comfortable dental orthotic, referred to as a occlusal splint.The custom splint holds the jaw in proper alignment, reducing tension in the muscles of the jaw joint, allowing healing to take place.
