Do You Have Sore Jaws? Suffer From Headaches? Have Clicking or Popping in Your Jaw?
Dr. Anderson is proud to be one of the few dentists in the country to have been extensively trained in an exciting new field of dentistry called neuromuscular dentistry. These treatment procedures have helped thousands of patients who have been labeled by other health professionals as “difficult cases.” Patients who have experienced a wide variety of symptoms and have sought treatment from physicians, chiropractors, and neurologists have finally found relief with neuromuscular dentistry. If you have unresolved headaches, difficulty swallowing, odd aches and pains in the jaw, head, or neck, or even clicking and popping of the jaw joint – you will be happy to know that Dr. Anderson has helped hundreds of patients just like you.

75% Reduction in Radiation
Introducing digital imaging, available at our practice. With this technology, an X-ray is taken of your mouth with a digital sensor and downloaded into our computer, where it is immediately available. We can also view your entire mouth in one shot, including the upper and lower jaws, with panoramic digital images. These methods result in 75% less radiation than conventional X-rays. No more waiting for images to develop and no more chemical waste to pollute the environment.

Saving Hopeless Teeth
Teeth with roots that have been damaged or infected used to require extraction, which can cause a lot of problems and should be avoided whenever possible. The good news is that we are well experienced in advanced root canal therapy. A root canal is a procedure to fix a tooth by removing the pulp chamber of the tooth and filling it with a filling material. This is often necessary when dental decay reaches the nerve of the tooth (or the tooth has become infected), and a simple filling will not be suitable. In the not too distant past, root canals would have required the tooth to be extracted. When dentists started performing root canals, they were quite painful, and the root canal has received a reputation as something to be avoided. However, with modern anesthetics and technology, the root canals we can perform in our practice are tolerable and sometimes even painless.

Intra-Oral Camera Makes You a Part of the Team
Dr. Anderson works hand-in-hand with patients to create a bond of teamwork. One of the ways he brings this about is through the use of a high-tech tool, the intra-oral camera. This amazing device is a miniature video camera that displays a closeup picture of the inside of your mouth. You can see for yourself what work needs to be done and which teeth are doing fine. You then become a participant in each dental decision. You’ll love how this works!
