In a recent interview with Dr. Miyamoto, TMJ expert in Wailuku, Maui, a lot of information has been issued to the public. Dr. Miyamoto is invested in providing the best services and the most accurate info when it comes to any topic in dentistry.

Dr. Miyamoto, dentist from Miyamoto Dental Design Suite in Wailuku, HI, was recently interviewed on Doctor Relations’ health network about TMJ disorders. Known as TMD, this disorder affects the temporomandibular joint. It is the misalignment of the jaw joint.

A report published by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research recorded that 5-12% of the U.S. population suffers from TMD, which is generally the main origin of jaw pain. Female patients constitute 95% of TMD sufferers. Despite that, only two thirds of patients seek treatment. The accompanying pain in TMD is often confused with simple chronic headaches, but it is a serious condition.

“TMJ disorder in many occasions is considered to be regular headaches, nevertheless, it is wise to seek treatment prior to mandatory surgery. Negligence in getting the accurate treatment for TMD can have very dire consequences. Excessive pain in the jaw joint and muscles responsible for jaw movement and control hinders daily responsibilities and life,” said Dr. Miyamoto.

Conditions worsen over time when problems aren’t detected at the beginning stages. TMD often starts out with simple headaches. Without treatment, it may lead to chronic jaw pain, recurring headaches and other adverse effects.

Dr. Miyamoto offers a free dental consultation and X-rays to help patients begin treatment as early as possible. This service also provides a second opinion for those who have treatment plans suggested by another dentist and would like to get the treatment plan re-evaluated.

At the interview, Dr. Miyamoto said, “Getting TMD diagnosed early is important as it prevents the need for surgery and enables one to start treatment using non-surgical means first.”

Dr. Miyamoto, in addition to this, gives 3D X-rays, containing radiation up to 80% less and sedation, which facilitates a relaxed and pain-free dental visit.

“The patient’s overall health is important to me, and I want to help with ending headaches and jaw pain before it takes a toll on the whole body,” said Dr. Miyamoto. “With the advancement of technology, those suffering from the consequences of TMJ disorder can find a variety of solutions at my office at any stage!”

“Dr. Mike is the greatest dentist on Maui, and very possibly the world,” said his patient Jan P., who went to Dr. Miyamoto for gum surgery. “Dr. Mike is THE only dentist on Maui who is trained and certified to perform a new type of gum surgery that is virtually pain free and gets the same results as the horrible old way! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Mike and his entire staff!”

Dr. Miyamoto goes beyond the scope of his dental work in his office, and has organized programs for community outreach hand-in-hand with Maui Food Bank, such as food drives and other campaigns.
