Headaches
We are trained in Neuromuscular dentistry which focuses on the healthy relationship among the teeth, jaw joints, and head and neck muscles. This addresses the issues related to TMJ (tempromandibular joint disorder).
Severe headaches are one of the most common symptoms of a TMJ problem. Tension headaches are the most common type of headache, and the TMJ headache is a tension type of headache. Clenching and grinding the teeth, which are TMJ symptoms, produce pain from the muscles in the head, which is a headache. Unfortunately, these headaches can be so frequent or severe that they are frequently misdiagnosed and treated as migraine headaches. Neuromuscular dentistry ensures the muscles are properly aligned so they do not have to work hard positioning the teeth to a strained bite.
Neuromuscular dentists understand that the bones, joints, muscles, and nerves in the face and neck have a complex relationship. They work to correct the bite, relieving strain on the jaw and the surrounding muscles. Once the bite has been aligned, resulting pain in many areas of the body disappears. If you suffer from headaches or these sorts of symptoms, please contact us today for a consultation.
