Occlusion and TMJ

Occlusion, in a general context, means simply the contact between teeth or how they “bite” together. More technically, it is the relationship between the joints, muscles and the upper and lower teeth during chewing or at rest. Bruxism is an oral habit of involuntary, rhythmic grinding and clenching of teeth, with the mandible moving in different ways than when chewing. In most people, bruxism is mild enough not to be a health problem. While bruxism may be a day- or night-time activity, it is bruxism during sleep that causes the majority of health issues and can even occur during short naps. Bruxism is one of the most common events in sleep disorders like sleep apnea.

“I came to Dr. Ward’s office facing an extraction and implant procedure. She and her office staff were absolutely phenomenal. Her examination was incredibly thorough and insightful, she kindly but factually presented all of her findings and diagnoses, and patiently walked me through all of the treatment options. I was there for 2.5 hours for just a consultation visit and I never get rushed by her or her staff. I can’t express how impressed I was with Dr. Ward’s knowledge, professionalism, and kindness. I highly recommend this place for any and all dental needs.”
– Kathy D.
"My appointment today was for a new patient comprehensive exam. The front desk receptionist, Susan, was very friendly and welcoming. My hygienist, Katy, collected my medical and dental history. She was great! She explained everything to me that I could expect to have done today, including X-rays. She was thorough and calming for me and did an excellent job with my X-rays. Dr. Camino performed the most thorough head, neck and dental examination I’ve ever had. Following the exam and X-rays, Dr. Camino reviewed the results with me along with options for a treatment plan. I was given a breakdown of the treatment plan with the expected costs and payment options. I was very pleased with my visit. I have scheduled my next appointment."
– Carol F.
"I am always amazed at the whole team’s professionalism and true caring for the center of their practice-their patient. From the front desk, welcoming and getting things rolling and finalizing the visit with a smile to the incredible assistants-(my temporary crown lasted several weeks without a problem) to the amazing Dr. Ward. Very skilled. Very. I’m a dentist. I notice everything and I’m always impressed with her breath of knowledge and dedication to her craft. Thank you!"
– Tom S.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally “low” breathing, during sleep. Each pause in breathing, called either apnea or hypopnea (respectively), can last from a few seconds to minutes, and may occur multiple times in an hour. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) or Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome is the most common type of sleep apnea and is caused by obstruction of the upper airway. Since the muscle tone of the body ordinarily relaxes during sleep, and because at the level of the throat, the human airway is composed of walls of soft tissue -which can collapse- it is easy to understand how breathing can be obstructed during sleep.
