Dental services for every family member and NOW accepting the CDCP.
Welcome to Dentistry at The Point!
Our practice has been serving the residents of Point Edward and Sarnia-Lambton communities and beyond since 2014.
Our patients enjoy the relaxing comforts offered by our clinical space. If you so desire, escape while treatments being performed while lying in chairs equipped with massaging features and with the added distraction of watching and listening to your favorite Netflix program while wearing wireless headphones.
Our clinic operatories are also equipped with a centrally installed Amaircare Air Wash HEPA filtration system and an integrated vanEE HRV to continually evacuate and replenish our clinical operatories with purified air.
*NEW*: Are you suffering from TMD symptoms and find yourself chronically grinding your teeth or perhaps even clenching your teeth?
Do you suffer from tension type headaches?
Factoids about TMD:
-
TMD is multifactorial in nature with a combination of factors that lead to overuse or abuse of the TMJ complex resulting in pain.
-
Pain is described as being located around the ear which may radiate to the face, neck or shoulders and is often associated with mastication (chewing).
-
Can manifest as an atypical headache.
-
Bite misalignment can result in painful clicking, popping or grating sounds when masticating and can be associated with limited movement or locking of the jaw.
-
#1 cause is bruxism (grinding of the teeth) and the muscles are involved demonstrating enlargement, tenderness and spasms.
-
The central nervous system is intimately involved subconsciously in producing parafunctional habits like bruxing and clenching.
Factoids about Tension Type Headaches (TH):
-
Patients describe TH as being a constant pressure like sensation as if the head was being squeezed bilaterally on both sides.
-
It may present as mild to moderate in severity and both episodic (minutes) to chronic (days) in nature.
-
Most common causes include clenching your teeth (#1 cause), stress, irregular meal times, sleep deprivation, uncomfortable posturing, eyestrain and dehydration.
-
The majority of TH have an anatomical origin or involve the temporalis and/ masseter muscles.
-
TH accounts for 90% of headaches.
-
3% of the population may be inflicted with a TH at any one time.

With clinical examination and the use of a Myotronics K7 EMG, Dr. Rocca can determine if treatments directed specifically towards hyperactive masseter and temporalis muscles can improve your daily quality of life.
