Today’s episode offers a whole lot of important information to sink your teeth into. I’m joined by Dr. Kevin Winters, a neuromuscular dentist who specializes in bite and jaw issues. Dr. Winters founded The Hills Dental Spa in Austin, Texas. Listeners can visit thehillsdentalspa.com to receive a free consultation.
After years of grinding my teeth and countless dental issues, I worked with Dr. Winters on a full mouth restoration. And I’ve been blown away by the results – the process corrected my bite, alleviated my neck pain, and even changed the shape of my face. Even though neuromuscular dentistry can change lives, it’s not widely understood or even taught in most dental schools.
In this episode, Dr. Winters explains what neuromuscular dentistry is and why it’s so impactful, taking us through the entire process of my mouth restoration as I share my personal experience.
We talk about how your teeth are connected to neck pain, headaches, muscle structure, posture, and more – and get into the most common causes for grinding your teeth and how to fix them. Plus, we explore treatments for TMJ and TMD, tongue and lip ties, and sleep apnea.
Dr. Winters also answers some burning questions: Is there any actual wisdom in removing wisdom teeth? What do pacifiers do to babies’ jaws? And is fixing your teeth really like an instant facelift?
