CT TMJ Headache Treatment Center
Our Background and Philosphy
Dr. Tagliarini has been practicing dentistry in western Connecticut since 1999, when he completed his hospital training. He became the owner of a thriving practice that he later named Quality Dental of Danbury. He has always believed in examining the root causes of dental issues rather than just treating the symptoms, and as a result, he was naturally drawn to curing TMJ. His personal experience with permanently overcoming chronic pain, as well as his many successes in clinical treatment, give him a unique perspective that benefits his patients
Although Dr. Tagliarini studied cosmetic dentistry, root canal treatment, dental implants and painless dental care, and was even awarded "Master Dentist" status by the Academy of General Dentistry, his most fulfilling area of practice is TMJ treatment. Dr. Tagliarini devoted two years of advanced education to the completion of the Revitalization Dentistry Residency program at the Texas Center for Occlusal Studies. What sets Dr. Tagliarini apart from traditional “TMJ specialists” is his application of principles learned through research and careful observation. Moreover, Dr. Tagliarini prefers to work with biology, not against it. As a result, he provides many levels of intervention for craniofacial pain, headaches, and jaw joint problems.
