Have a Headache? See Your Dentist
Introduction
Have you ever considered visiting your dentist for a migraine? It might sound surprising, but neuromuscular dentistry offers promising solutions for chronic headaches and migraines.
Understanding Neuromuscular Dentistry
Neuromuscular dentistry is an innovative field focusing on the muscles of the jaw and neck and their connection to the teeth. It goes beyond traditional dental care by ensuring these muscles are relaxed and aligned, which can alleviate various symptoms, including headaches.
Symptoms Linked to Neuromuscular Issues
When jaw muscles aren't in a relaxed position, it can lead to:
- Headaches
- Loose teeth
- Clenching or grinding
- Jaw joint pain or clicking
- Neck, shoulder, and back pain
- Numbness in arms and fingers
- Sensitive teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Gum recession
- Ear ringing or congestion
Some people may only experience migraines as their primary symptom, indicating a possible neuromuscular dental issue.
How Neuromuscular Dentistry Works
The goal is to achieve "happy muscles" by placing the jaw in its most comfortable position. This process involves specialized equipment:
1. Myo-monitor: A low-frequency T.E.N.S. unit that relaxes muscles by stimulating the trigeminal and facial nerves.
2. EMG Machine: Measures muscle tension. Before TENS therapy, the EMG shows high muscle activity; afterward, the muscles are much more relaxed.
The TENS Therapy Process
TENS therapy helps by:
- Eliminating waste metabolites and lactic acid from stressed muscles
- Increasing blood flow and oxygen to the muscles
- Relaxing the jaw into its optimal position
A session typically lasts 45-60 minutes, depending on symptom severity.
Creating an Orthotic
After therapy, an orthotic device maintains the relaxed muscle position, aiding in muscle healing and reducing pain. Patients usually wear the orthotic for 1-3 months until symptoms subside.
Patient Success Stories
Alan's Journey
Alan, 68, suffered from migraines for 25 years and relied on medication. After treatment, he is virtually headache-free and no longer needs painkillers.
Barbara's Experience
Barbara, a 43-year-old mother, dealt with headaches and neck stiffness for seven years. Following TENS therapy, her pain vanished, and she recovered full neck mobility. She's been pain-free for months.
Deaun's Relief
Deaun had chronic migraines for two years. After trying neuromuscular dentistry, her headaches are reduced to one every six weeks, marking a significant improvement.
