How can a dentist help alleviate my headaches?
April 18th, 2013
Dentists generally aren’t the first professionals people think about when they experience facial pain, but our team utilizes TruDenta systems, which have been designed to relieve headaches, migraines, jaw pain, or facial pain. Through proven, state-of-the art technologies in advanced dentistry and medicine, you can finally get the headache and migraine relief you’ve been searching for.
If you experience recurring headaches and muscle aches due to tension from jaw clenching, grinding, and popping, you may want to discuss TruDenta® treatment options with our practice. Within your head and mouth is a complex network of muscles, tendons, joints, and bones, which create forces that, when improperly balanced, can lead to chronic headaches and jaw clenching.
As a TruDenta practice, we are specially trained to examine and diagnose these forces that affect your teeth and your overall health. TruDenta uses modern technology to examine the opening and closing of your mouth to better evaluate the forces within your head, neck, and jaw. A specialized device will calculate the motion of your head and neck. These comprehensive exams determine a series of painless treatments that are adapted from sports medicine therapies and customized to your particular needs.
The result is healthier teeth and gums, as well as lasting relief from headaches without the dependence on painkillers. If you’ve been suffering from headaches, tooth grinding, or jaw tension, please give us a call at our office and schedule a consultation today.
