Did you know that some of the common causes of headache and head pain are dental-related and could be remedied by treatment from your dentist? The health of your mouth, the positioning of your teeth, and the proper functioning of your jaw joints are just some aspects of your dental health that all play a factor in muscle movements and forces that inevitably lead to head pain. Dental imbalance and muscle tension can trigger headaches, so your misaligned bite, missing teeth, or teeth grinding could be the cause of your chronic headaches.
Causes of Headaches
Dental misalignment and muscle tension can trigger neurological and biochemical reactions that result in head pain, so the cause of your chronic headaches could be directly related to your dental health. Common dental headache causes include:
- Misaligned bite
- Missing teeth
- Damaged dental restorations
- Poor adaptation to dental restorations
- Bruxism, or teeth grinding
- Wisdom tooth extraction
Other lifestyle factors also contribute to the occurrence of headaches and head pain, such as stress, anxiety, poor posture, poor diet, age, and injuries to the head, neck or body.
Associated Dental Symptoms
If you experience any of the following dental symptoms with your headaches, then the cause of your chronic head pain is likely due to dental disorder or misalignment:
- Jaw clicking or popping
- Teeth grinding
- Tooth breakage
- Dental wear
- Jaw pain or discomfort
- Facial pain or discomfort
