Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of doctor is best for sleeping problems?
Sleep problems such as snoring or sleep apnea are best assessed by a general practitioner or a sleep physician for an accurate diagnosis. At Dental Sleep and TMJ Therapy Canberra, our practitioners are dentists with advanced training in dental sleep medicine and orofacial pain. We work closely with sleep physicians to provide oral appliance therapy and other dental treatments designed to help manage sleep-related breathing disorders and jaw pain.
What is the average cost for TMJ treatment?
The average cost for TMJ treatment differs from patient to patient, as it depends on several individual factors. At our sleep clinic in Canberra, the final cost is determined by:
- Condition severity level
- Type of treatment
- Number of visits
- Diagnostic assessments needed
- Follow-up care required
All fees are discussed in detail during your consultation to provide a clear understanding of your personalised treatment plan and associated costs.
How does dry needling help with headaches and jaw pain?
Dry needling is a technique that targets tight muscle trigger points in the jaw, face, and surrounding areas. Inserting excellent needles into these tense spots helps release muscle tension, reduce pain, and alleviate discomfort caused by TMJ disorders and tension headaches.
The treatment also improves jaw function by enhancing mobility and bite alignment while supporting other therapies, such as oral appliances or physiotherapy. Over time, dry needling can provide long-term relief by addressing the underlying muscular causes of jaw pain and headaches.
Is sleep apnea a disability in Australia?
Sleep apnea is not classified as a disability in Australia. However, when the condition significantly affects daily functioning, individuals may be eligible for specific medical or workplace support. At Dental Sleep Therapy, we focus on evidence-based management of sleep apnea through custom oral appliances and coordinated care. Our sleep clinic Canberra team ensures each patient receives treatment tailored to their specific needs and health requirements.
What is the difference between acupuncture and dry needling?
Acupuncture is a practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine that focuses on balancing the body’s energy flow through specific points along meridians. In contrast, Dry needling is a modern clinical technique that targets specific trigger points in muscles to relieve tension and pain.
At Dental Sleep Therapy, dry needling is used to reduce muscle tightness and alleviate discomfort associated with TMJ disorders, tension headaches, and jaw pain, providing targeted relief and improving overall jaw function.
