Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free method of pain relief that uses mild electrical impulses to stimulate nerves and reduce discomfort. It is widely used for chronic pain management, muscle relaxation, and post-surgical recovery in various medical fields, including dentistry.
In dental care, TENS therapy is particularly effective in relieving jaw pain, TMJ disorders, facial muscle tension, and post-operative discomfort. By stimulating nerves and muscles, it promotes relaxation and improves circulation, helping patients achieve long-term relief from dental-related pain.
