Morning Headaches
Waking up with a headache can be a frustrating and debilitating way to start your day. Morning headaches are often linked to dental issues such as teeth grinding (bruxism) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which can cause chronic pain and discomfort.
Our Solution:
At Kingfisher Dental Practice, we are dedicated to identifying and treating the dental causes of your morning headaches. Here’s how we can help:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Our dentists will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if your morning headaches are related to dental issues. This includes assessing your bite, examining for signs of teeth grinding, and checking the health of your TMJ.
- Custom-Made Night Guards: If teeth grinding is the cause, we can provide custom-made night guards. These appliances protect your teeth from grinding and alleviate the pressure on your jaw, reducing headaches.
- TMJ Treatment: For those suffering from TMJ disorders, we offer a range of treatments including bite adjustment, TMJ exercises, and specialised splints to relieve jaw tension and prevent headaches.
- Regular Monitoring: We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust treatments as necessary to ensure your symptoms improve.
- Patient Education: Understanding the connection between dental health and headaches is crucial. We educate our patients on maintaining good oral habits and recognising early signs of bruxism and TMJ disorders.
