Unless you’re in love – let thy breathing heart be still, oh Romeo! – dizziness is never a good thing. But on the bright side, it’s usually treatable! Call Millennium Smiles (972-987-4899) today to get yourself checked out!
Just under 10% of people are estimated to have temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders (TMJ or TMJD), but it often goes undiagnosed and unreported. TMJ problems are more common among younger people - which is atypical for chronic pain diseases.
Millennium Smiles offers advanced biometric services such as a non-invasive Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) to treat TMJ disorders that cause headaches, pain, and difficulties chewing food. One common symptom is a loss of balance - inflammation caused by TMJ can reach the sensors in your ears that are responsible for transmitting location and movement information to the brain. The resulting lightheadedness can be extremely disorienting.

The full-service general and cosmetic dental clinic based in Frisco provides JVA diagnostics if your temporomandibular joint dysfunction is causing regular episodes of dizziness or pain, hampering your ability to function confidently on an everyday basis.
The JVA process is simple. You get a device that goes over your head like headphones and then are asked to perform a variety of movements with your jaw. The JVA determines if your TMJ joint is functioning efficiently.
The clinic can swiftly identify between healthy jaw joints and abnormal joints using JVA. This method of detecting joint vibration - in which problematic joints vibrate more frequently than healthy joints - helps pinpoint potential joint problems such as degeneration, cartilage rips, perforations, and mechanical displacements. Your TMJ joint will click and pop when it is moving too much, wearing down the muscles in the joint and resulting in headaches, pain, and confusion.
TMJ dysfunction symptoms might occasionally go away on their own. However, if symptoms persist, Dr. Korous may suggest a number of treatments, frequently more than one to be carried out concurrently. One course of treatment offered is MLS Laser therapy, which promotes decreased inflammation and improved blood circulation for tissue repair and faster healing - and carries no side effects.
A wide variety of dental services are available at Millennium Smiles, including periodontal and whitening care, emergency dentistry, and aesthetic and implant dentistry. Additionally - in the event you're a loud snorer with obstructive sleep apnea - the clinic can provide you with TMJ-related sleep apnea therapy using specially fitted oral appliances.
One patient commented: “Amazing office run by an amazing team. The last few dental visits I've had with other dentists' locations have been bad over the past few years offering unnecessary & painful treatments. Dr. Korous & Haley changed my outlook and took great care of me to make my visit a much more positive and painless experience. Thank you.”
You don't need to live with headaches, pain, and dizziness - but you may not have even thought it could be something addressed by your dentist!
