New Research on Nervous System Diseases

This course was previously called Ramifications of a Malfunctioning Nervous System. The name has been changed but the content is the same.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The nervous system plays a vital role in the regulation and coordination of all bodily functions, from movement and sensation to digestion and breathing.

Dentists must be aware of the nervous system as it plays a critical role in facial pain and temporomandibular joint disorder. By understanding how the nerves in the head and neck are interconnected, dentists can provide targeted treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve oral health.

When the nervous system is malfunctioning, neurological conditions can result including but not limited to facial pain, pathology of molars, bacterial infections, dementia, Parkinson’s, trigeminal neuralgia, ophthalmological conditions, shingles and more.

A thorough understanding of the nervous system is essential for dental professionals. By incorporating this knowledge into your practice, you can provide targeted and effective treatments that address the root cause of your patients’ symptoms.
