In our demanding modern lives, feelings of stress, anxiety, and being overwhelmed are increasingly common. These aren’t just mental states; they are physiological responses managed by our nervous system. A key player in this internal regulation is the vagus nerve. Understanding how to influence this nerve can be a transformative tool for managing stress and enhancing your overall well-being.
Dental procedures, from a simple filling to complex surgery, can take a toll on your body. While the treatment itself is a crucial step toward better oral health, the recovery process is just as important. The period after a dental procedure is a critical time for your body to heal, manage inflammation, and rebuild tissues. Many people experience pain, swelling, and fatigue, which can slow down their return to daily life.
Neuro-Occlusal Rehabilitation (NOR) offers a functional approach to dentistry, aiming to restore this essential balance and address the root cause of these problems. It moves beyond simply treating symptoms, instead focusing on retraining the neuromuscular system to function correctly.
