Acupuncture Therapy for Jaw Pain & Dental Care

Acupuncture therapy in Phase 3B2, Mohali (near Phase 7) by Dr. Shikha, a holistic dentist trained in acupuncture. Gentle sessions can help relieve jaw pain, TMJ discomfort, facial tension and dental anxiety, and can be combined with your regular dental treatment for calmer, more comfortable visits.

What is acupuncture therapy for jaw pain & dental care?

Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile needles placed at specific points to help relax muscles, reduce pain and calm the nervous system. In dentistry, it is used alongside conventional treatment as a gentle, drug-free support. At Urja Dental Clinic in Phase 3B2, Mohali, acupuncture therapy is provided by Dr. Shikha, our prosthodontist and holistic dentist, who holds a diploma in acupuncture. It may help with jaw pain and TMJ discomfort, tight jaw muscles from teeth grinding and clenching, dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex during treatment, and tooth or gum sensitivity as part of our root canal prevention approach. Acupuncture is always used as a complement to, not a replacement for, proper dental diagnosis and treatment. We first examine the cause of your symptoms and recommend acupuncture only where it is suitable.
