I can’t thank Dr. Lorio enough for how he has changed my quality of life. I went in with really bad tmj pain after being told by a doctor that it wasn’t anything serious and to continue taking Tylenol for the pain. I was taking two Tylenol every 4 hours it seemed! Thankfully once I started my appointments and received my mouth orthotic I felt immediate relief! Dr. Lorio is very knowledgeable and his attention to detail is commendable. It just feels like thank you isn’t enough but Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

TMJ Treatment
If you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, and earaches due to a TMJ disorder, you're not alone. A dysfunction of the jaw joint can lead to difficulties while speaking, eating, and yawning. Fortunately, there are options for pain relief and improved jaw function.
Using advanced diagnostic equipment, Dr. Lorio will assess the jaw joint as well as the sounds made while the jaw is in motion. Thanks to his Advanced Masterclass Continuum Training, Dr. Lorio can then treat complicated issues that affect the jaw joint and its surrounding tissues.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
An estimated 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea. The condition is more than just snoring. Sleep apnea refers to interruptions in your normal breathing while you are asleep. This can affect your ability to get a good night's rest, your mood and energy levels during the day, and your general health.
The Office of Keith G. Lorio, DDS can help if you experience sleep apnea. He can coordinate treatment with a simple intraoral device worn during sleep, as well as other solutions.
