How do I know if my headaches and migraines are caused by dental issues?
Drs. Mark Duncan and Mandy Holley of Aesthetic Dentistry of Georgetown will first need to carry out a thorough examination of your mouth in order to identify any potential causes of your pain. Once the cause has been identified by your dentist, he or she can recommend the most effective treatment for you. The type of treatment used to address the problem will vary depending on the cause.
In some cases, simply correcting a small dental problem can make a big difference to the severity and frequency of migraines or headaches. For example, if you have misaligned teeth, your dentist may recommend braces or other orthodontic treatment to correct the problem. If you deal with problems such as TMJ/TMD or bruxism, the use of an oral appliance at night can alleviate discomfort caused by clenching and grinding of the teeth. By evaluating your unique needs, our team at Aesthetic Dentistry of Georgetown in Georgetown, TX, can make recommendations to help address frequent headaches and migraines caused by these dental concerns.
