The average dental patient travels about 5-10 miles to see their dentist for treatment, we found in this survey of dentists. Rural patients travel longer distances for dental care than do urban residents, obviously due to the distance from metro areas.
However, some patients keep their dentist even after moving hundreds – sometimes thousands – of miles away. Read that again.
“I’m a specialist," said one periodontist, "so we have quite a few patients from the coast, which is 90 miles away."
Agreed a dental implant dentist, "Many of our patients travel up to 4 hours by car for their treatment." An orthodontist seconded this, saying, "I have had a few patients who have traveled 150 miles one way to come to my office."
"Including the guy who comes from Palm Beach?" asked a New York oral surgeon. "Not enough patients come from far away!" So , maybe advertising in higher income areas outside your immediate zone of influence pays off big.
Maybe it's New York… “I have both an active local clientele and an international clientele,” boasted a prosthodontist from that state.

TMJ treatments, migraines, facial pain jackson mississippi
TMJ Treatment
When the teeth don’t fit together properly due to a misaligned bite, the excess strain on the joint, also known as the TMJ, can cause a host of problems. If you suffer from migraines, facial pain, or even ringing in the ears, it may be due to a misaligned bite, and TMJ treatment may be able to help.
Diagnosing and Treating TMJ Disorders
At our practice near Jackson, Mississippi, TMJ treatment begins with the proper diagnosis. We utilize a computerized system to digitally analyze the bite for a precise diagnosis. We also look for visual signs of wear and cracks on the teeth to determine where the problems might be. Then we create a comprehensive treatment plan for correcting the bite problems and relieving TMJ-related problems.
Bite Therapy Alternatives
There are several bite therapy appliances that we use to treat TMJ problems, including night guards, the tension suppression system, and ll of these dental appliances help realign the jaws to ease the tension and pressure that is put on the joints when the bite is misaligned.
Through TMJ treatment, we can help eliminate headaches, pain, and bite problems for many patients. Contact us in Jackson , Mississippi to learn more about TMJ treatment and how it can help alleviate your pain and discomfort.
