Mt. Pleasant, SC (PRWEB) November 01, 2016 -- New patients with temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, issues or jaw pain can now receive TMJ treatment utilizing the latest technology from Dr. Kevin Hogan, trusted dentist in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Dr. Hogan now uses the VATECH PaX-i3D Green Cone Beam CT imaging technology, to more precisely evaluate and treat temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
As a trusted dentist in Mt. Pleasant, SC, Dr. Hogan has analyzed and treated many TMD cases. By utilizing the cutting-edge VATECH PaX-i3D Green Cone Beam CT imaging system, Dr. Hogan is able to capture precise three-dimensional images to create an interactive map of each patients’ oral structure in only six seconds or less. Symptoms of TMJ disorders are varied and include stiffness in the jaw muscles, limited ability to move the jaw and grating or popping noises that occur when the mouth is closed or opened. There can be multiple causes of TMD, including injuries to the jaw, autoimmune diseases and bruxism, or teeth grinding, however, advanced technology like Dr. Hogan’s Cone Beam CT allows him to analyze the underlying cause of their symptoms more effectively.
Although initial symptoms of TMJ issues may be fairly mild, without treatment they can progress and may eventually cause significant pain. To avoid significant discomfort and complications associated with untreated TMD, patients are encouraged to seek the help of a highly-trained dentist as soon as they notice symptoms. Patients who are not sure if their symptoms are being caused by problems with their temporomandibular joint are still encouraged to receive an evaluation and find out the underlying cause of their discomfort.
