Pain in the foot, Plantar fasciitis

It may come as a surprise, but the troubles of the mouth can soon reach the feet. Over time, stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). The localized pain originating from the head may extend to the spine. Additionally, it can radiate to the knee, potentially causing discomfort, and ultimately reach the foot, possibly resulting in conditions like plantar fasciitis.

This progression highlights the far-reaching effects of TMJ issues, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and intervention to prevent further complications and alleviate associated discomfort throughout the body. If you’re experiencing foot pain or plantar fasciitis, visit Anthra, Tamilnadu for comprehensive care. Our experts focus on neuromuscular therapy to provide effective relief and improve your overall well-being.

FAQ

What is TMJ in dentistry?

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull. Neuromuscular dentistry is a holistic approach that considers teeth, muscles (along with associated nerves), and joints as an interdependent unit. In dentistry, TMJ refers to the bite disorders or conditions affecting this joint, causing symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, difficulty chewing, and facial discomfort.

What makes Anthra different from others?

Anthra stands out for its personalised approach to dentistry. At Anthra we carefully analyse our clients’ overall well-being, including personality, lifestyle, and expectations, to tailor treatment plans. We prioritise understanding clients’ needs, ensuring the perfect treatment approach, and fostering a supportive environment throughout the dental journey.

What should I do before visiting my dentist?

Before visiting your dentist, it’s important to brush your teeth thoroughly. Make a list of any symptoms or concerns you have about your oral health. Bring along any relevant medical history or previous reports.

What is Digital Smile Design?

Digital Smile Design (DSD) marks a groundbreaking innovation in cosmetic dentistry. At Anthra, we utilise this technique to provide the expected outcomes. DSD involves the integration of digital photography, dynamic video recording, and computer software analysis. This meticulous approach allows us to precisely plan and predict the outcome of any desired dental treatment, ensuring optimal results tailored to each patient’s unique needs and preferences.

Is there an association between my posture and my dental wellbeing?

The TMJ is connected to the neck and shoulder area through a complex neuromuscular system. Changes in the neck can affect TMJ health, and vice versa. Studies show that changes in head and body posture can negatively impact the TMJ, potentially leading to TMJ disorders.
