Arab American Dental Association Presents Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz, Author of "Supra-Gingival Minimally Invasive Dentistry" Published by Wiley-Blackwell

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 28th, at the Hilton Hotel in Pasadena, California, Dr. Ruiz will share how to implement a successful approach to maintaining occlusal health. Fear of the negative effects of unhealthy occlusion leads to restorative failure. Occlusal disease is a very serious condition that causes unnatural wear and damage to teeth, and some experts believe it is the number one cause of tooth loss. Occlusal disease is a generic term that covers a number of pathological conditions associated with the bite, jaw muscles and the temporomandibular joint, which is why the disease can lead to facial pain and headaches. A properly trained dentist can treat occlusal disease, which Dr Ruiz will describe in the lecture.

Every Dentist should be an expert in managing occlusion and helping patients maintain occlusal health because we deal with it on everything we do!
