With a wealth of knowledge and experience, Hugo<\/a> is widely recognized as one of the best specialists in his field, offering his exceptional services in NHS and privately, including here at Kingston Dental Clinic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hugo<\/a>\u00a0dedicates his\u00a0timeexclusively to the study and\u00a0work\u00a0oforofacial\u00a0pain and TMD, which are conditions that affect\u00a0mostly\u00a0the muscles and joints of the jaw and surrounding areas. As a highly skilled professional, he possesses a deep understanding of the complex nature of these conditions and employs a comprehensive approach to provide his patients with the best possible care.<\/p>\n

At Kingston Dental Clinic<\/strong>, Hugo<\/a> offers a range of specialized services to address orofacial pain and TMJ<\/a> disorders. One of the key aspects of his practice is the improving of the\u00a0general\u00a0function and mobility of the jaw joint\u00a0alongside the optimisation of the\u00a0surrounding\u00a0structures. Through\u00a0education,\u00a0targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and other modalities, Hugo<\/a> helps his patients regain normal jaw movement and alleviate pain.<\/p>\n

In addition to physiotherapy, Hugo<\/a> incorporates acupuncture into his treatment approach. He is a Chartered Acupuncturist having\u00a0done his training with the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists and then\u00a0specialised training in\u00a0orofacial\u00a0pain, TMD and headaches. Acupuncture has long been recognized as an effective method for pain management and has showed strong evidence in the management oforofacial\u00a0pain and TMD. This can help improving\u00a0both acute and persistent\u00a0pain.<\/p>\n

Another advanced treatment modality offered by Hugo<\/a> is low-level laser therapy. Low-level laser therapy has recently shown promising results in the management of orofacial pain and TMJ<\/a> disorders. This non-invasive procedure utilizes specific wavelengths of light to promote tissue healing, pain reduction, improve post-surgical swelling and decrease inflammation. Hugo skilfully employs this therapy, alongside other strategies,\u00a0to enhance the overall effectiveness of his treatments and provide optimal relief for his patients.<\/p>\n

In addition to these techniques, Hugo<\/a> also incorporates awareness and education into his practice. He recognizes that acute pain and persistent pain can have a significant impact on an individual’s emotional well-being, and thus, addressing psychological factors is an integral part of his treatment approach. By addressing the\u00a0relevant lifestyle triggers and identifying potential parafunctional habits,\u00a0he\u00a0aims\u00a0to\u00a0provide his patients strategies that can enhance the outcomes of his treatment and guarantee positive\u00a0long-term outcomes rather than a short-term and temporary solution.<\/p>\n

Hugo<\/a> has also\u00a0vast\u00a0training and experience with patients that undergo various facial and head\u00a0surgeries\u00a0(i.e.: TMJ<\/a> arthroscopy,\u00a0arthroplasty, TMJ<\/a> replacement,\u00a0orthognathicsurgery). Often these patients will present with swelling, inflammation and other expected post-operative\u00a0side effectsthat will need a close rehabilitation in order to heighten the expected results from each procedure.<\/p>\n
