Discover Dental Rocklin’s Innovative MLS Laser Therapy for Dental and Craniofacial Pain
If you experience excessive jaw or craniofacial pain, Multi-wave Locked System (MLS) laser therapy is a fantastic option for you. Whether you grind or clench your teeth, suspect sleep apnea, or have TMJ disorder, considering MLS laser treatment can greatly improve your oral health and alleviate craniofacial pain.
Dr. Jaclyn Pak at Discover Dental Rocklin is proud to introduce the state-of-the-art Multi-wave Locked System (MLS) laser therapy. This leading-edge treatment offers a solution for those experiencing significant jaw or craniofacial pain, potentially stemming from conditions like teeth grinding, sleep apnea, or TMJ disorder.
Understanding TMJ Pain
TMJ disorder, often identified as craniofacial pain, leads to discomfort across the head, face, neck, and jaw muscles. This arises primarily due to jaw complications. Notably, events like car accidents or sports-related injuries often result in craniofacial pain. Moreover, sleep apnea — a condition where oxygen supply is limited during sleep — can trigger TMJ disorder and associated jaw pain.
Furthermore, sleep-related breathing issues might lead to bruxism, where individuals unconsciously grind or clench their teeth. Persistent such movements gradually damage teeth surfaces, the jaw’s skeletal structure, and other facial joints, causing TMJ pain, headaches, facial neuralgias, and diverse musculoskeletal discomforts.

MLS Laser Therapy Explained
Offered at Discover Dental Rocklin, MLS cold laser therapy is a revolutionary non-invasive procedure, tailored to manage craniofacial pain. The therapy augments cellular energy in the pain-stricken region by employing multiple light wavelengths.

Whether you're grappling with dental pain, neck soreness, or TMJ joint discomfort, Dr. Jaclyn Pak's expertise in MLS laser therapy at Discover Dental Rocklin promises relief. The therapy's unique capability to penetrate inflamed tissues with varying energy levels effectively curtails inflammation, paving the way for enhanced healing in the troubled region.
Why Should You Consider MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS therapy is an excellent choice for individuals experiencing TMJ pain. This treatment method is entirely non-intrusive and renowned for its safety, speed, and lack of discomfort. It has received FDA approval and is free from any adverse effects. Moreover, MLS laser therapy provides numerous additional benefits, such as:
- Stimulating cells to reduce pain
- Enhancing enzyme production to promote faster healing
- Reducing inflammation and pain in the targeted area
- Increasing bone repair speed by stimulating fibroblastic and osteoblastic proliferation
- Relaxing muscles and muscle spasms caused by TMJ disorder or facial pain
- Stimulating lymphatic drainage to decrease swelling and allow damaged tissue to regenerate healthy cells
- Energizing cell membranes and facilitating the transportation of essential nutrients, which promotes healing and new cell growth
In addition, MLS laser therapy for dental discomfort offers more than 100 times the energy of previous cold laser treatments. This enhanced energy and power lead to shorter treatment durations and a reduced number of therapy sessions needed to experience instant pain relief.
What Can You Anticipate During MLS Treatment?
During your treatment, your dentist will utilize a handheld device that emits light. This device will be placed and moved over your skin in the specific area where you are experiencing pain, providing a comforting warmth as it begins to address any affected tissue. MLS therapy is entirely painless and requires no recovery time as it has no side effects.
The duration of MLS therapy treatments is typically around 10 minutes. The treatment plan is tailored to each patient based on their level of distress and the severity of their TMJ and surrounding area pain. Many patients experience significant relief after 2 to 3 sessions as inflammation decreases. However, some individuals may require a total of 6 to 12 sessions to achieve complete recovery.
