Eliminate Pain and Discomfort with TMJ Disorder Therapy from Dr. Papageorgiou in Natick, MA
February 17, 2015
Do you have a TMJ disorder? Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders most commonly occur in women between the ages of 20 and 40, but may develop in anyone at any age. Your TMJ connects your lower jaw bone to your skull in front of each ear, and controls the facial muscles in charge of chewing. Problems with your TMJ can cause head and neck pain, facial pain, ear aches, headaches, locked jaw, bite problems, and jaw clicking or popping sounds. If you have persistent jaw pain, or if you can’t open or close your jaw comfortably, it’s time to take action. Make a TMJ disorder appointment with Papageorgiou Dental Associates today. Dr. Papageorgiou is the leading Natick TMJ disorder specialist. Papageorgiou Dental Associates delivers quality care daily throughout Natick, MA, Framingham, Wayland, Sudbury, Wellesley, and the surrounding communities.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
Your TMJ acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. A TMJ disorder can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control your jaw movement. The exact cause of TMJ disorder development is often difficult to determine. Your pain may be due to a combination of problems, including arthritis or jaw injury, or bruxism (nightly teeth grinding).
Do You Have A TMJ Disorder?
If you have experienced any of the following symptoms, you should make an immediate appointment for a TMJ disorder examination:
- Pain or tenderness of your jaw
- Earaches
- Difficulty chewing
- Aching facial pain
- Locking of the jaw
How Does Dr. Papageorgiou Treat TMJ Disorder?
Oral Appliance Therapy (Night Guards): If you are suffering from TMJ disorder, you may benefit from wearing a custom oral appliance at night. The night guard fits securely over your upper and lower teeth, much like an athletic mouth guard. The oral appliance can help reduce clenching and teeth grinding, and ease muscle tension by relieving jaw joint stress and pressure.
Natick TMJ Disorder Therapy Appointments
To determine the presence of TMJ disorder, Dr. Papageorgiou will listen to and feel your jaw when you open and close your mouth, observe the range of motion in your jaw, and press gently on areas around your jaw to identify sites of pain and discomfort. Don’t go another day without seeking treatment for your TMJ disorder symptoms. Make an appointment with Dr. Papageorgiou at Papageorgiou Dental Associates today for the TMJ disorder therapy you need to restore your quality of life. Dr. Papageorgiou is a trusted family dentist, now proudly serving families throughout Natick, MA, Framingham, Wayland, Sudbury, Wellesley, and the neighboring areas.

Effective and Reliable Natick Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treatments
January 17, 2015
Does loud snoring keep you up at night? If you, or someone close to you, suffer from chronically loud snoring, intermittent choking, or other sleep disturbances, you may need sleep apnea and snoring therapy. Sleep apnea and snoring are separate but related conditions stemming from the interruption of airflow as you sleep. Untreated sleep apnea and snoring not only rob you of a good night’s rest, but could also pose serious health risks. Make an appointment with Dr. Papageorgiou at Papageorgiou Dental Associates today for the sleep apnea and snoring treatment you need to finally get a good night’s sleep. Dr. Papageorgiou is an experienced sleep apnea doctor. Papageorgiou Dental Associates proudly serves families throughout Natick, MA, Framingham, Wayland, Sudbury, Wellesley, and the surrounding communities.
What Causes Sleep Apnea and Snoring?
While we’re awake, our throat muscles keep our airway open so that air can flow freely in and out of our lungs. But as we sleep, these muscles can relax, narrowing our airway. Normally, this narrowing doesn’t prevent air from flowing into and out of our lungs. However, if you have sleep apnea, your throat muscles and tongue relax more than normal, and your airway could become partially or fully blocked as you sleep. As a result, loud snoring and drops in blood oxygen levels can occur. If the oxygen drops to a dangerous level, it triggers your brain to interrupt your sleep to reopen your windpipe. Normal breathing then starts again, but with a loud snort or choking sound.
Why Is Untreated Sleep Apnea And Snoring So Dangerous?
These frequent drops in your blood oxygen levels and reduced sleep can trigger the release of stress hormones in your body. These hormones then raise your heart rate and increase your risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and irregular heartbeats. The hormones also can raise your risk for heart failure. Untreated sleep apnea may lead to changes in how your body uses energy, increasing your risk for obesity and diabetes.
What Are Your Sleep Apnea And Snoring Treatment Options?
CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure): CPAP is the most common treatment for sleep apnea. A CPAP machine uses a small mask that fits over your mouth or nose as you sleep. However, CPAP treatment is not well tolerated by many patients and can cause side effects including: a dry or stuffy nose, irritated skin, dry mouth, headaches, stomach bloating and other discomfort.
Oral Appliance Therapy: Oral appliance therapy is the less invasive alternative for sleep apnea and snoring treatment. A custom fitted oral appliance could help if you have sleep apnea, or if you snore loudly but don’t have sleep apnea. Either way, Dr. Papageorgiou can diagnose your case and design and fabricate a custom-fitted solution. The oral appliance will adjust your lower jaw and your tongue to help keep your airways open while you sleep, thus eliminating the effects of the conditions.
