Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM)
for TMJ in Newcastle
Discover the Power of Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM)
At 7 Pearls Dental, we are proud to offer a cutting-edge solution for patients suffering from Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), also known as bruxism. Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM), utilises the power of low-level laser therapy to provide non-invasive pain relief and promote healing at the cellular level. As the only practice in Newcastle offering this innovative treatment, we are dedicated to helping our patients find lasting relief and improve their quality of life.
What is Photobiomodulation Therapy?
PBM Therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, involves the use of a specialised laser device that emits light energy (photons) onto the affected area. This light energy penetrates the tissues and interacts with chromophores located in cells, resulting in photophysical and photochemical changes. These changes lead to alterations at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels of the body, ultimately accelerating wound healing, reducing inflammation, and restoring normal cellular function.
The Benefits of PBM Therapy
Non-Invasive Pain Relief
PBM Therapy provides effective pain relief without the need for invasive procedures or medication. By targeting the underlying cause of your pain at the cellular level, PBM Therapy helps alleviate acute and chronic pain associated with TMD and bruxism.
Improved Function and Healing
In addition to pain relief, the therapy improves overall function and promotes healing in the affected area. Whether you’re suffering from jaw pain, muscle tension, or limited jaw mobility, PBM Therapy can help restore normal function and enhance your overall well-being.
Who Can Benefit from PBM Therapy?
What to Expect During a Session
During your PBM Therapy session at 7 Pearls Dental, you can expect a comfortable and relaxing experience. The laser device will be applied directly to the affected muscles or tissues, delivering the targeted light energy. The treatment is painless and safe, with no known side effects.
The duration of each session typically ranges from 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the severity and chronicity of your condition. For optimal results, a series of 5 to 10 treatment sessions may be recommended. These sessions can be combined with other dental treatments as part of a comprehensive plan to address your TMD or bruxism. Our team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment schedule based on your specific needs.
