Target the Source of Headaches

Your teeth are the center point in the face that connects and stabilizes your skull and upper jaw to the lower jaw with all its associated muscles and ligaments. Without teeth, your brain would not know how to put your jaws together and if your brain cannot find a comfortable rest position because the teeth are in the wrong position or the jaw sizes don’t match or the jaw and face anatomy do not support proper function like breathing during the day and during sleep, this can all trigger the muscles to become unhappy which leads to inflammation.

Inflammation is many times the root cause of chronic facial pain and migraine headaches. Rather than take pain killers or other medications for the rest of your life, a better management would be to figure out what is causing this inflammation that is leading to your facial pain and migraine headaches.

If proper position of your teeth and jaw or the anatomy of the tissues in your mouth, your throat and your tongue are the problem, then the best person to diagnose and treat this is a dental health professional that has advanced training in these jaw and tooth problems as well as airway breathing problems.
