The Relationship Between Mastication and the Central Nervous System: How Can It Influence Cognitive Functions?

Did you know that the way you chew can influence your memory, attention, and even your brain's alertness? Recent research has shown that chewing activity is more than a necessary process for digestion – it plays an essential role in the optimal functioning of the nervous system.

Chewing stimulates the trigeminal nerve, which in turn activates locus coeruleus, a region of the brain responsible for secretion of noradrenaline – an essential neurotransmitter for vigilance, learning, and memory. In other words, each bite can influence our ability to concentrate and our mental clarity.

Why are chewing occlusion and symmetry important?

If you tend to chew only on one side, this can lead to uneven brain stimulation, affecting cognitive performance. Over time, an imbalance of the masticatory muscles can negatively affect posture, temporomandibular joint (TMJ)and even the central nervous system.

Many of us have dental occlusion problems without realizing it. These imbalances can cause symptoms such as:
Headaches frequent
Obeseală mentală inexplicableă
SCăcapacityhatFocus
Discomfort at the level of jaw noises or opening mouth sounds

Therefore, Checking dental occlusion and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function is essential. to prevent these problems.

How can you identify and correct masticatory imbalances?

Sea most advanced diagnostic method for these problems are carried out in our clinic, using:

🔹 Pupillometry – we measure pupillary response to evaluate brain activity and the influence of the trigeminal nerve.
🔹 Kinesiography - we analyze jaw movements to detect occlusal dysfunctions.
🔹 Electromyography – we measure activity of the masticatory muscles, identifying neuromuscular tensions and imbalances.

These tests allow for Complex evaluation of the connection between dental occlusion and brain activity, ..., helping us find personalized solutions for each patient.

How can cognitive functions be improved through chewing?

Folosiți ambele părți ale gurii atunci când mestecați – acest lucru ajută la menținerea echilibrului neuromuscular.
Alegeți alimente care necesită mestecare intensă – precum legumele crude sau guma de mestecat fără zahăr.
Consultați un specialist – dacă aveți disconfort la mestecat, dureri în zona ATM sau simțiți o preferință puternică pentru o parte a gurii.
Fiți atenți la postura mandibulară – ocluzia incorectă poate afecta și postura generală a corpului.

Prevenția este Cheia!

Chiar dacă nu observați semne evidente, un dezechilibru al mușcăturii poate exista și influența subtil sănătatea generală. O evaluare corectă poate preveni apariția durerilor cronice, a oboselii mentale și a tulburarilor posturale.

📌 Vă invităm în clinica noastră pentru o consultație detaliată! Cu ajutorul celor mai moderne metode de diagnostic, putem identifica și corecta orice dezechilibru masticator, contribuind la sănătatea dumneavoastră pe termen lung.

💡 Un zâmbet sănătos înseamnă și un creier sănătos!

Impostors. I don't recommend. Very good at marketing until you get there. The clinic looks okay, but the first red flag is that... you're the only patient in the clinic. Then they sell you stories at exaggerated prices, saying you need to treat all your teeth, even though that's not what you asked for or need.
Your response is just as „personalized” as the treatment plans offered.
I am not publishing my real name precisely because you have already demonstrated in another review that you have no qualms about publicly disclosing confidential medical details regarding patients’ health issues, diagnoses, or treatments. This is an extremely problematic practice from the perspective of medical confidentiality.
I hope you never find yourself in a situation where anyone with internet access can find out details about your medical issues.
The statement „you are not in our database” does not change the experience at all.
Avoid this!

Hello. The medical team, consisting of Dr. Thomas Mendel and Dr. Nur Saadeddin, is of the highest professional caliber. They have dedicated their lives to helping people with dental problems. They have taken on the responsibility of fixing the serious mistakes made by others. I will be grateful to them for the rest of my life and wish them good health. Nurse Ana Vrancea was a great help to me, and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

I have an older problem, for 5 years, with my TMJ, severe pain, dizziness, clicking, I wore braces for almost 2 years, I also underwent osteopathy techniques, I wore night guards, but they didn't help me much. On the other hand, 4 months ago, I discovered this clinic with revolutionary laser therapy, with a wonderful team, a place where I feel at home, which has helped me a lot. Dr. Anca Adam is an exceptional doctor, very passionate and dedicated, skilled in meeting patient needs, very empathetic, and always having a kind word, a wonderful person to whom I want to express my deep gratitude for everything she has done and continues to do for me. May God give her good health and strength to continue her work! With much love, Nicoleta Mozaceanu.🙏🙏

My problem was as follows: within a year, my jaw locked five times – once when I yawned and my mouth got stuck open, and the other times after I fell asleep. Obviously, I panicked and didn't know the cause. Dentists recommended I wear a retainer to reposition my jaw for about 8 months, then a splint to straighten my teeth for 2–3 years. This would have been the classic solution for my problem.

Fortunately, I reached Innovation Medical clinic, where I had the good fortune to meet Dr. Anca Adam. From the very first session, she gave me hope and confidence, finding a quick and effective solution. An extraordinary doctor and person, with patience, empathy, and professionalism.

After the first laser treatment session, I felt a noticeable improvement, and after a few more sessions, I can sleep peacefully, without stress and without the fear of waking up with my jaw locked. Additionally, I discovered that the laser used is also very effective for other conditions—a canker sore that normally took two weeks to heal disappeared completely after just one session.

"I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic and Dr. Anca Adam, because she offers not only treatment, but also reassurance and peace of mind to her patients."”

Trigeminal neuralgia... nothing is more painful... And when the pain doesn't respond to anything, despair sets in... But, as God loves me, he put Innovation Medical Center in my path... And the laser treatment... and an angel... Dr. Anca... young, empathetic, patient, passionate about what she does... and I could add many more beautiful words about her... Because, thanks to the professional way she treated me, I can now sleep at night... It seems almost incredible to me that I'm no longer woken up by that unbearable pain, which exploded in my head and jaw... but it's true... I sleep, pain-free, all night... And that's not a small thing... and it's not a small thing that my joy of living has returned, because, for the most part, my right trigeminal nerve has calmed down... I am sharing my experience with the treatment at Innovation Medical Center to bring a little hope to those who are struggling with trigeminal neuralgia and who, like me, have gone through many treatments, some with no results, others with temporary results. Thank you to everyone at Innovation Medical Center for your professionalism, kindness, the warmth with which I am greeted, the pleasant atmosphere, and the responsibility towards patients. Because, unfortunately, for many doctors, the sick have become clients. Thank you Innovation Medical Center because, for you, the sick person is a patient and is treated with great care and compassion.

A top-notch team—and then some—specifically referring to the medical team that treated me: Dr. Thomas Mendel, Dr. Nur, and the nurse (I don’t know your name, but you were very kind). I want to thank you because, first and foremost, you are people before you are doctors. You have no idea what a rare quality that is, so hard to find these days! After a procedure that I would describe as very difficult, 24 hours later I felt as if I hadn’t gone through any procedure at all. Now I hope my body will do the rest, continuing the work you’ve done—which, by the way, is five-star! I sincerely wish you good health and hope you never change your approach to work or your empathy toward patients. This country needs doctors like you!
