FOR MIGRAINE SUFFERERS, IT MAY SEEM AS THOUGH <\/strong>there are only two options\u2014either suffer in silence with a bottle of ibuprofen, or go to the doctor for something stronger. However, experts say that as many as 95% of migraines may be linked to dental issues.<\/strong> So if you, your child, or other family member suffer from migraines maybe it\u2019s time for a chat with our practice<\/strong> instead. <\/p>\n

Your Migraines May Be Caused By TMJ or TMB<\/strong><\/h3>\n

TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint. This is the joint responsible for jaw movement\u2014talking, crunching, grinding, clenching, etc. It\u2019s a complex system of bones, muscles, and tendons. When something interrupts the function of this system, it\u2019s referred to as TMD, or temporomandibular disorder. If your jaw is misaligned, your muscles are strained trying to put (or keep) your jaw in its proper place<\/strong>. Soon it starts impacting all the surrounding muscles, including your neck, your head, and even your spine. <\/p>\n

Some TMD Symptoms Include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Popping or clicking jaw<\/li>\n
  • Sore teeth<\/li>\n
  • Facial pain<\/li>\n
  • Aching neck muscles<\/li>\n
  • And of course, Migraines<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n

    Treating TMD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    TMD research is still a developing science and treatments can range from fitting a mouthpiece to actually adjusting one\u2019s bite. If you\u2019re suffering from pain in your jaw, your teeth, your face or head, or migraines (with or without other symptoms) come in and ask us<\/strong> about it. We can check your bite and see if dental issues may be to blame.<\/strong> Our team<\/strong> is not only concerned with your oral health, but we\u2019re also concerned about your overall health and comfort. If you have questions about TMJ or TMD, leave us a comment below<\/strong>, send us a direct message on Facebook<\/strong>, or contact us<\/strong> for an appointment. <\/p>\n
