Even though I am a dentist I’ve been able to treat hundreds
of patients for the headache migraine and facial pain.
The report was written to give some insight about headache
relief that most people have no idea about and to tell you that if you
are a
candidate for headache treatment we have a 95% chance of eliminating
your
headaches almost immediately.
Many people who suffer from chronic headaches and migraines
can be helped by an unlikely source their dentist.
Dental professionals have made great headway in providing
relief to headaches sufferers through greater understanding of the
relationship
between the joints in the jaw and the role it plays in head and facial
pain.
The syndrome that many people who experience chronic head
and facial pain is called TMJ syndrome which stands for
TemporoMandibular Joint
Syndrome your tmj is basically the main joint in your jaw.
You have two TMJ’S one in front of each ear connecting the
lower jaw bone to the skull the joints allow movement up and down side
to side
and forward and back all the mobility necessary for biting and chewing
and
swallowing food for speaking and for making facial expressions.
TMJ syndrome is a medical problem related to the joints in
the jaw problems with TMJ can cause head and neck pain problems biting
as well
as clicking sounds when you chew or even locked jaw.
The national institute of dental and craniofacial research NIDCR
of the national institute of health NIH say that over 10 million people
in the
United States suffer from TMJ problems at any given time while both men
and
woman experience TMJ problems the majority of those seeking treatment
are women
in their childbearing years.
Not all causes of TMJ syndrome are known some possible
causes contributing factors are injuries to the jaw area various forms
of
arthritis dental procedures genetics hormones low level infections auto
immune
diseases stretching of the jaw as occurs with inserting a breathing tube
before
surgery and clenching or grinding of the teeth.
Ouestions To Ask Your Dentist ?
- Do you treat headaches -Some dentists do not focus on
specific conditions like headaches and would prefer not to so ask if he
or she
treats headaches that stem from TMJ some do not.
- Do You Take Xrays Or Do A TMJ
Analysis - Call their office and check and
see if they can evaluate you right in their office with x rays or if
they will
refer you out most dentists can do it right in house however never let
them
begin treatment without taking x rays and going over the treatments with
you.
- Do You Accept Payment Plans - Today patients are either going with the managed care doctor and hoping and
praying
that they’ll get quality care or paying out of pocket for their services
so in
response there are many caring dentists medical doctors chiropractors
podiatrists and other health care professionals that are giving patients
