Patients With Fibromyalgia

Dental Care for Patients with Fibromyalgia

The fibromyalgia patient faces many daily challenges in accomplishing seemingly ordinary activities. Going to the dentist can be among the routine ventures that can pose a special difficulty for the fibromyalgia patient. Patients may have limitations in their ability to open their mouth sufficiently for Sunnyvale dentist Dr. Bhawna Gupta to provide treatment. 

Jaw muscles can quickly fatigue in the open position resulting in temporomandibular joint pain. This struggle can complicate the ability of the dentist to perform quality dental care, not to mention the comfort of the patient in the dental chair. Other patients have the sense that they have suffered enough from their fibromyalgia symptoms, and want their dental treatment rendered as comfortably as possible. Sedation dentistry appointments offers these patients the comfort they’re looking for.

Dentists, sometimes unfamiliar with the needs of fibromyalgia patients, may prescribe insufficient post-operative pain relievers.

Fibromyalgia and Dental Care Comfort

Fortunately, there are ways to increase the comfort of the fibromyalgia patient in the dental chair. At Sunnyvale Dental Care office, sedation dentistry can make dental treatments as comfortable as possible for patients with fibromyalgia. The entire body and mind can be relaxed. There is less strain for the patient in keeping their mouth open. Special “tooth pillows” allow the patient to hold their mouth open without unnecessary strain. 

Dental pain, temporomandibular joint pain, and general body discomfort can be relieved to a great degree, by use of conscious sedation during dental care. Cervical pillows can be used to support the neck more comfortably than a conventional headrest. Oral premedication can be used for relaxation during minor procedures when the patient feels they do not require intravenous sedation. All phases of routine dental care are accomplished with the least possible discomfort at our Sunnyvale Dental Care Office

Cosmetic dental care and all that modern dentistry has to offer, is more comfortably available now to fibromyalgia patients.
