Relieving the Pain of Migraines
Did you know that even though the pain of a migraine is felt in your head, it could actually be caused by a problem with your temporomandibular joints (TMJs)? At 22nd@Taylor Dental Care, we offer a Migraine Pain Prevention Therapy service that includes an examination of your upper and lower jaw to identify the root cause of your migraines and treat it effectively. One of our most successful prevention methods is fitting a stabilization splint - a small, comfortable mouthpiece that helps stop teeth clenching or grinding, and in most cases, prevents headaches or migraines.
A migraine is a type of headache that can be very painful and uncomfortable. It can last for hours or even days, and it often comes with other symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and dizziness.
Going to the dentist when you have a migraine can help because they will be able to look at your teeth and gums to see if there is an issue causing the pain in your head. Your mouth has many nerves that connect directly to your brain, so any problems here could be contributing to your migraines. If this is the case, then having dental work done may help reduce the frequency of migraines you experience.
If you are grinding your teeth at night due to stress then using a bite guard while sleeping may also provide relief from headaches during the day because it will prevent further damage from occurring in this area of your mouth.
Don't let migraines interfere with your daily life. Contact 22nd@Taylor Dental Care today to book an appointment and find relief from the pain. Visiting the dentist is important if you are dealing with a migraine.
