The Power of Dentistry
Positively and Significantly Affecting our Patients’ Lives
Our patients have to deal with a myriad of pain and dysfunction issues that out of necessity become chronic as the patient has to go through the everyday necessities of life. The patient is forced to live with these symptoms and tries to mitigate with drugs, continuous band aid treatment modalities and in many cases significant irreversible treatment that may not even address the issue at hand.
As contemporary dentists, we have the ability to interact with our patients in a manner that allows them to inform us of such chronic issues that they may be facing and at the same time be able to understand the presented physiology by the patient to render treatment that allows for cessation of such pain and dysfunction.
In performing long lasting comprehensive contemporary dentistry, Form, Function, Esthetics and Stability are the attributes that we strive for and should for good reason. In the end, it is “physiology” that informs and governs the long term end result. In generalities, anatomy (i.e. Form) gives us guidance whereas physiology determines the end result. As Sir Charles Sherrington proved with a resulting Nobel Prize, that “Physiological Economy” is at the center of a person’s well-being.
Dr. Kherani will discuss the theory and science behind the Neuro Muscular Occlusion philosophy and its application in treating numerous cases that range from aesthetic needs to pain management in a contemporary setting. A sound diagnosis followed by a physiologic treatment modality will prevent both overtreatment and under treatment of the patient leading to a permanent and stable cure of the conditions presented.
The much ignored arena of Sleep Disordered Breathing will also be considered in the overall diagnosis leading to treatment that allows the alleviation of this harmful disorder with far reaching complications that can result in increased mortality and morbidity. Successful long term treatment outcomes will be shared along with patient testimonials.
