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, Sarnia-Lambton and communities beyond since 2014.
With no steps or stairs, our street level office is easily accessible. During the winter months our building ice-melt system works to keep our sidewalk bare. When inside, our reception area(s) for both adults and children separately feature TV's and sofas to relax prior to your appointment complete with a refreshment area.
Our patients also enjoy the relaxing comforts offered by our clinical space. If you so desire, escape while treatments are being performed lying in chairs equipped with massaging features with the additional option for those seeking even further distraction, the ability to watch and listen privately to your favorite Netflix program using 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.
Beyond everything else, our friendly staff is ready to greet you with a smile and will make every effort to ensure your stay with us is as comfortable as possible!
*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.
Discover if the targeted therapeutic power of BOTOX® treatment is right for you.
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.
