Now there is affordable, over-the-counter relief at your local retailer.New DenTek(R) Jaw Pain Relief Cream is the first clinically proven topicalanalgesic to reduce muscle pain at the point of contact. It reduces pain up to60% after only two weeks and even after stopping treatment, research indicatesa 40% reduction in pain is still in effect after five or more days.
The active ingredient, Methyl Salicylate (18%), acts as a counterirritantby creating a warming sensation at the point of pain; providing a distractionthat redirects the brain to focus on the alternative sensation versus theactual point of pain. This provides immediate relief while longer term reliefis associated with methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a naturally occurring sulfurthat carries copper and zinc straight to the jaw joint reducing inflammation.
"DenTek's(R) Jaw Pain Relief Cream is now a part of many of our patienttreatment regimes," said Dr. Noshir Mehta, Director of the Craniofacial PainCenter at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. "TMJ & TMD sufferers inparticular have been in need of a topical pain reliever," he said.
