When considering cosmetic dentistry, your best resource is your doctor.
A qualified and experienced cosmetic dentist can give you excellent information
about what options are available and appropriate for your situation.
While your doctor can help you make a good treatment decision, some patients
find it difficult to imagine what the results may look like. I have a solution
that can help.

Migraine
FDA approves new device which is superior to drugs, and without side effects
The field of migraine prevention therapy has been at somewhat of a standstill.
Although numerous drugs are now on the market which are intended to subdue
migraine pain after the attack has already begun, preventing migraine has been
less than satisfactory.
However, research has found one common factor to all migraine and tension-type
headache sufferers: tender and sore temple and scalp muscles caused by intense
and prolonged jaw clenching during sleep. Not teeth grinding, but jaw clenching…and
there is a world of difference.
Established research has shown:
-- Jaw clenching muscles of migraine suffers are 70% larger in volume and
generate significantly higher bite forces than control subjects
-- Migraine sufferers who experience
headaches soon after or upon waking show significant evidence of nocturnal jaw
clenching
-- Tension-type headache patients contract their temporalis muscles (clench
their jaw) during sleep, on average, 14 times more intensely that asymptomatic
controls.
The FDA has recently approved the first non-drug, no side-effect method for
migraine pain prevention, the NTI-tss, a small and comfortable specialized
mouthpiece which covers only your upper two front teeth while you sleep.


The NTI-tss must be custom fitted by a dentist. And why just the two front teeth?
Because that prevents the back molars and canine teeth from coming into contact.
Without those teeth contacting, jaw clenching intensity is reduced by two-thirds!
In clinical trials, 82% of migraine sufferers who used the NTI-tss for eight
weeks had a 77% average reduction in migraine attacks, and were continuing to
improve (details at the NTI-tss website www.nti-tss.com). There were no
side-effects or adverse results. This is not to say the intense jaw clenching
alone is the cause of migraine, but does put research back on track.
So for the best way to prevent migraine, instead of putting a pill in your
stomach, you put a device on your teeth!

Teledentistry
The goal of the Teledentistry network is to share information about the
potential use of telecommunications in dentistry.
Teledentistry is an excellent solution in which two computers are linked through
telephone line to transmit pictures between the two or more dentists. Pictures
of the patients' pathology are taken by an IntraOral camera and transferred onto
the hard disc. It is a matter of seconds before the consultant looks at the
pictures in order to work out a diagnosis and treatment plan.
You can have a diagnosis and a recommended treatment through this service.
TeleDentistry enables specialists to review your medical history and
investigations, then provide you with a reliable opinion on the diagnosis and
the best course of management and treatment.
My office through the Teledentistry service provides oral health care via
electronic transmission of dental information from different sites for real-time
and off-line diagnosis, treatment planning, consulting, and follow up.
The major benefits of Teledentistry approach are:
Improved access to specialists to accelerate diagnosis and treatment
Reduced cost of oral health through shared resources
Reduced isolation of practitioners by providing peer and specialist contact
and eventually
Improved quality of care
