“I feel so much better now”

  Posted by: Dental Design      12th June 2023

Miss Stewart suffers from hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), a condition which causes joint hypermobility, pain, and dislocation. She shares her experience of surgical treatment:

“Prior to treatment, my jaw was dislocating frequently on the right side when talking. Because I had to eat with my mouth open, I didn’t like eating around other people. Any jaw movement would cause a lot of pain, and it would ache when speaking.”

Miss Stewart underwent a Level II Arthroscopy procedure with Dr Komath to stop the constant dislocations in September 2021. This was successful and her situation has improved:

“I am definitely glad that I went ahead with the treatment. I feel so much better now that I don’t expect my jaw to dislocate whenever I eat or even speak. I have experienced no dislocations since my surgery.

“For others who may need treatment – I recommend going for it. It’s also helpful to eat soft food and use ice and heat packs during the immediate recovery to help with healing.”
