Dr. Langer's Treatment on Bruxism/TMJ Disorders

Brooklyn, NY ( beforeitsnews ) February 18, 2013 – Dr. Langer, D.D.S. has been treating patients in Brooklyn and the surrounding areas for quite some time. Patients who are trying to overcome Bruxism/TMJ have found an amazing response to the treatment methods Dr. Langer has outlined for them. Even though Bruxism/TMJ can be quite annoying for those trying to deal with the pain and discomfort, it is imperative that patients understand there are things that can be done to help overcome the symptoms associated with the condition.

Not only does Dr. Langer take the time to listen to what the patients are dealing with, but also the doctor develops a treatment plan that is tailored to their individual needs. Since everyone is different, it is important that a plan is developed to help determine what works for the individual patient. The main goal is to provide patients with the relief they need, as well as preventing any further damage to the teeth and jaw.

Regardless of whether you are in Brooklyn or the surrounding areas, Dr. Laurence Langer, D.D.S. will help address your concerns in a timely fashion. Many patients may not even realize that they are dealing with Bruxism/TMJ symptoms, which is why it is imperative that you are checked out by a qualified dentist to ensure the health and well-being of your mouth.

Depending on the individual patient, a bite splint may provide the overnight relief you need to prevent awakening in pain. These devices come in a variety of forms, but the underlying goal is to separate your back teeth at the onset of bruxing with a ramp placed onto your front teeth. A bite splint is often the first line of defense at overcoming Bruxism/TMJ symptoms.

Another alternative that Dr. Langer, D.D.S. has used for patients is that of medications to help eliminate the habit while the patient is asleep. A mild antidepressant is often the answer for many patients to prevent any further damage to their teeth from bruxing. If neither of the aforementioned methods works for patients, behavioral therapy can help to train you to control your bruxing consciously.

Everyone will have different methods that will work for their individual needs, which is why the doctor works to determine what is going to work for each individual patient. No two people will respond in the same manner, so it is up to the doctor to determine what method will help you to overcome your condition and save you a lot of time and hassle.

From Brooklyn to the surrounding areas, Dr. Langer is ready to help you take control of your Bruxism/TMJ symptoms and restore your life to what it once was before the condition began.
