Dental Headaches

Dental headaches, also known as masticatory myalgia, are a type of chronic pain caused by the teeth, jaws and related structures. They can feel like constant throbbing on one side of the head or face, and may be accompanied with earache and/or neck pain. Dental headaches are usually caused by bruxism (teeth grinding), TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders or periodontal disease. Treatment often includes lifestyle modifications such as relaxation techniques, avoiding hard foods and medications to relieve pain. In some cases, treatment from a dentist may be necessary to fix any underlying issues like crooked teeth or a misaligned bite.
