Bite disease is the deterioration of the teeth and gums; and the bone/muscles of the head, neck and upper back. When there structures are not in harmony with each other, dental structures will break down over time.
 

SELF CHECK FOR BITE DISEASE:

  • frequent headaches, neck aches
  • shoulder pain, upper backaches
  • jaw clicking or popping
  • restricted jaw movement
  • facial muscle cramping
  • clinching or grinding of teeth
  • tired jaw, usually in the morning
  • locking of the jaw
  • overgrowth of bone on inside of the jaw
  • receding gums
  • fillings along the gum line
  • wearing of teeth
  • loose teeth
  • multiple crowns on posterior teeth
  • breaking of the back teeth
  • several root canals
  • chiropractic adjustments that do not hold

 

THE MAJOR QUESTION YOU NEED TO ASK:

Is my mouth healthier today then it was five years ago? If your answer is "yes" you are in great shape. If, however, the answer is "no" then you need to ask why!

WHAT IS A HEALTHY BITE?
A healthy bite is one where the jaw joint is in its socket absent of disease... the muscles of the jaw joint, upper back, neck and head are relaxed and not cramping, the muscles used for chewing are relaxed and not cramping, and the teeth work together in a non-destructive way.
