Do you wake up in the morning with a headache and sore jaw? Before dismissing your morning headaches as an annoyance, consider visiting our practice for an evaluation. These symptoms are commonly a result of TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder.
TMJ develops from grinding and clenching your teeth. This places excessive pressure on the joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull, often resulting in headaches. Night grinding, stress and injuries can all cause you to experience headaches.
Unfortunately, the signs of TMJ tend to go unnoticed. Many people do not realize that they are grinding and clenching their teeth throughout the night. At our practice, we work with patients to minimize and eliminate pressure on the temporomandibular joint. We provide our patients with custom night guards, jaw exercises, and proper restorative dental maintenance to reduce pressure and eliminate headaches.
If you are experiencing headaches as a result of grinding and clenching, visit our practice. We are happy to help patients find relief from TMJ.
