Get headaches, see a dentist!

Headaches are generally classified into several basic types: Sinus, Cluster, Tension and Migraine. You can determine which type of headache you have by discussing it with your physician or a neuromuscular dentist. While headaches are typically treated by your physician with medications, an improper bite (the way your teeth and jaw come together) may play a significant role in certain types of headaches as well as other head and neck pain.
The muscles of the temple area of the forehead are muscles that play an important part in the posturing and closing of the jaw. If your bite is not right, it can lead to abnormal tension in these muscles. If the bite is not corrected, the muscles may remain tense for a long time.
The contracted muscle does not get a chance to rest and soon suffers from poor circulation – thus a lack of needed oxygen and accumulation of waste products of metabolism. The result can be pain (headache).
Headaches are just one symptom that may be attributable to a bad bite. Other symptoms such as pain or noise in the jaw joint, facial pain, sensitive teeth, difficulty chewing, and neck pain may also be related to your bite and should be discussed with a neuromuscular dentist.
