Dr. Benavent sees people with Temporomandibular Disorders (aka “TMJ”), headaches, nerve pain, and "mystery" pain in their head and neck. She also works with patients that have obstructive sleep apnea to help manage their apnea with an oral appliance. This often means they no longer need to use a CPAP. She also works with people without sleep apnea that want a snoring appliance.
Dr. Benavent does offer Botox for the jaw muscles and for some nerve pain conditions, but this is generally not a first-line option.
A visit with Dr. Benavent includes a complete medical history and thorough head and neck exam. Then she will discuss your diagnosis and develop a personalized plan of treatment. Feel free to ask questions during your visit.
