The dental practice of David A. Schwartz, DDS, PC, is intentionally
smaller and slower paced than most other offices, and has been mercury-free
since its inception in 1994. Since 2004, Schwartz has furthered his education
incorporating the principles of what was termed neuromuscular dentistry, but
now has refined to physiological-based dentistry (PBD), to treat headaches, jaw
pain (TMJ/TMD/CMD), sleep dentistry and more. Dentistry does not have a
specialty for what he does, so it would be a breach of the American Dental
Association Code of Ethics to say that Schwartz specializes or is anything
other than a general dentist, even though his training goes well beyond that.
He earned a fellowship at the Las Vegas Institute for
Advance Dental Studies, as well as a fellowship in the International
Association of Physiological Dentists. While Schwartz still performs basic
dental procedures, his passion is helping people resolve aches and pains of the
head and neck. He says, “With PBD, we have tests to find the end point first to
know if we can help someone, versus trying and hoping that we are on the right
track.”
Techniques include
computerized 3-D jaw tracking and muscle electromyography using the BioResearch
BioPak and dental computed tomography are used to help diagnose the source of
the problem. A T-Scan occlusal analyzer, along with the BioPak is used to
detail the patient’s bite. When indicated, BioResearch MLS Laser can be used
for cold laser therapy. Dental orthopedics/orthodontics as well as oral
myofunctional therapy are also used.
Schwartz’s philosophy is to do his best
every time he treats someone. It is also to be a constant learner, always
expanding his knowledge and techniques to improve a person’s whole body health.
