Sep 22, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Dr. Kevin Flood, general and cosmetic dentist in Grand Rapids, MI is giving patients who are suffering with head and neck pain renewed hope in improving their condition with state of the art TMJ treatment. Dr. Flood has received extensive training as a TMJ dentist and is able to provide patients with customized treatments to address their pain.

TMJ disorder, also referred to as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) is a condition that affects the muscles and joints in the jaw, face, head, and neck. Those who suffer with TMD often experience jaw pain, tension headaches, clicking or locking of the jaw joint, facial pain, dizziness, and more. This can lead to interference with everyday activities, including talking, eating, and sleeping.

“TMD affects millions of adults throughout the country but unfortunately, many people don’t even realize what condition they have or realize that it can be treated effectively by the right professionals,” said Dr. Kevin Flood, TMJ dentist in Grand Rapids, MI. “At our practice, we help TMJ patients both diagnose and treat their pain so they can live a happy, healthy life without their condition taking control of it.”

In addition to being a highly experienced dental professional, Dr. Flood has received advanced training in a variety of other areas including craniosacral therapy, Trager, chiropractics, chirodontics, massage therapy, osteopathic manual medicine, and myofuscial release. As such, Dr. Flood has made diagnosing and treating TMD an integral part of his practice.

Dr. Flood offers a comprehensive exam for patients who may be suffering with TMJ and if diagnosed, provides fully customized splint therapy to address the pain. These splints adjust the jaw posture and bit, which for most patients relieves the majority of the pain they experience because of the condition.

Beyond providing TMJ treatment for patients with head, neck, and facial pain, Dr. Flood is also a highly experienced dental implants dentist in Grand Rapids, MI and is able to provide permanent solutions for patients who have missing permanent teeth. Dr. Flood is also trained in orthodontics and is a certified Invisalign dentist for patients who want a straighter smile without traditional braces.
