Dr. Sanda Moldovan (Beverly Hills Dental Health and Wellness) explains common TMJ/TMD symptoms — migraine headaches, ear-area pain, morning jaw soreness, popping/clicking — and outlines her clinic's multidisciplinary, "biological" approach. Their protocol emphasizes first evaluating the joint with 3D imaging and coordinating chiropractic head/neck alignment before providing a BPA-free night guard. They also offer adjunct energetic therapies (low-level laser and take-home microcurrent devices) to reduce pain and support TMJ regeneration, and invite patients to contact the office for help.

I'm Dr. Sanda at Beverly Hills Dental Health and Wellness and I want to talk to you today about tmj. If you suffer from migraine headaches, pain right next to your ear, this is where your TMJ is. If you wake up in the morning and you feel soreness in your jaw, if you have popping and clicking when you open your mouth, those are all signs that you might be suffering from TMD or temporomandibular disorder. Our program is completely different because we are a biological dental office and we work with a chiropractor. Many people go to a dental office and they simply get a night guard. And what I often hear from our patients is that it doesn't feel good. I wake up in the morning and I feel worse with the nightguard. Well, the reason is because we first need to adjust and address the head and the neck. That's where our chiropractor comes in. If we place a nightguard in and the head and the neck are not adjusted or balanced, then you will feel worse. So your first appointment here usually includes a 3D imaging of your joint to determine if you have perhaps arthritis, if your joint is damaged, and then you will be seeing our chiropractor to give you that perfect alignment before we give you our BPA free night guard. We also have energetic therapies such as low level laser to decrease the pain and help with the healing. Also microcurrent devices that you can actually take home and treat yourself regularly to help regenerate the tmj. If you think you might be suffering from tmd, please give us a call at Beverly Hills Dental Health and Wellness. We can help you sa.
