(Newswire.net — January 14, 2013) Toronto, Canada — Individuals in the Toronto area suffering from TMJ and sleep apnea who have symptoms including headaches, and head, jaw and neck pain can seek relief from Dr. Richard Goodfellow, a dentist and founder of the Clinic for TMJ Treatment Toronto patients have been visiting since 1999 at 9565 Weston Road in Woodbridge, Ontario. Through his practice, Goodfellow provides a comprehensive assessment for Toronto-area patients. For those suffering from the condition, Dr. Goodfellow is also offering a free report and four free videos to those who provide him with their email address through his website, http://tmjtoronto.org.
The report and videos provide more information on TMJ Toronto area residents with this disorder will find helpful to know and they describe how TMJ treatment Toronto dentists provide could help stop their pain. Individuals seeking a consultation or looking to book an appointment for an initial assessment are able to consult with Goodfellow at his office toll free.
Goodfellow’s free report provides information about TMJ and questions to ask when seeking to treat it including:
- How an unnoticed TMJ disorder can cause or be linked to all kinds of symptoms, such as headaches, migraines, neck pain, facial pain and much more
- What research shows about the success rates of treating TMJ
- The average length of time it takes the typical individual to be treated and recover from TMJ
- How to know whether and individual qualifies for treatment
- Questions to ask to help determine if an individual is a candidate for Toronto TMJ treatment
- Questions to ask to help find a dentist who can provide TMJ pain relief
According to Goodfellow, the biggest problem for most people is that they suffer needlessly, in some cases for years. Unfortunately, many healthcare professionals are simply not properly trained in how to link the numerous symptoms pain sufferers have to an actual disorder of this kind, he said.
“What is worse is that even when this type of problem is thought to be the cause of someone’s chronic pain, it can still be very difficult to determine the precise root cause,” Goodfellow said. “Our treatment solution rests in giving enough respect to the fact that the temporomandibular joint is the single most complex joint in your entire body, where TMJ lives.” More information about his treatment for TMJ symptoms such as headaches is available at http://tmjtoronto.org/tmj-toronto-headache-treatment.
According to Goodfellow, the joint is right in front of both ears in the location where the skull joins the jaw and it has an extremely complicated network of nerves, ligaments, muscles and bones linked to it.
Add to this the fact that this joint is used more than any other in the body and the recipe for potentially severe and long-term pain exists. Pain from this disorder can even be felt in areas far away from the jaw joint if there is a misalignment or trauma related to this joint.
Because of all the complexities and subtleties to understand related to the jaw joint, some healthcare professionals, such as Dr. Goodfellow, invest literally thousands of hours on TMJ treatment approaches – both the study of it, as well as administering treatment to patients. Since 1999 Dr. Goodfellow has invested thousands of hours in both the study and treatment of TMJ disorders.
Because of his training and his advanced diagnostic equipment, Dr. Goodfellow can determine very quickly if the root cause of someone’s pain is, in fact, because of TMJ syndrome and whether he can help that person.
“It has been estimated that 20 percent of the population has pain and health problems related to a TMJ problem, with 80 percent of people with this type of pain being women,” said Goodfellow. “Visiting a properly trained TMJ dentist Toronto has available will help you move forward with a very important step in getting relief of pain as quickly and simply as possible.”
Approximately 80% of people with a TMJ disorder also have sleep apnea where they stop breathing many times during the night..With sleep apnea Toronto dentists such as Dr. Goodfellow provide a custom mouthguard worn during sleep. This helps patients breathe normally, stop snoring, and feel less fatigued. The problem is that 90% of people with this condition are not aware they have it. More insights about sleep apnea can be found at http://tmjtoronto.org/sleep-apnea-toronto .
Results of treatment have been very encouraging. According to a recent study with 2,104 patients, 88 percent of patients who were candidates for jaw-related headache treatment had success from the type treatment Dr. Goodfellow provides. Dr. Goodfellow has a similar success rate.
