Neuromuscular Dentistry

Dr. Boyett is advancing his dental training with Las Vegas Institute, a Post-Graduate Dental Learning Institution.

Long recognized as the pioneer in live-patient, post-graduate dental training, Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI) offers doctors and their teams from around the globe comprehensive learning and a curriculum that inspires life-changing experiences not only in their practices, but in their personal lives. Being a medical doctor and a dentist, this is the perfect fit for Dr. Boyett, this clinic and our area of service.

Neuromuscular Dentistry can help alleviate symptoms such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, jaw pain, clicking or popping in the jaw, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The Majority of North Americans suffer from one or more of these symptoms and unfortunately in many cases these patients’ symptoms are either misdiagnosed or dismissed as having no physiological cause. In a number of cases, these symptoms can actually be attributed to TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), also referred to as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) or MPD (myofascial pain dysfunction). These terms are just different names for the same group of symptoms.

A Neuromuscular Dentist may be able to help you if you are suffering from any of the above symptoms or a number of other symptoms.
