Morning headache from the teeth

Morning headache can be the first symptom of increased spastic activity of masticatory muscles and bruxism. It can be corrected with nightguard.

Nightguards can help with morning headaches

The common experience of morning headaches is usually due to an improper bite. The first approach is to make something (anything) to fit between the teeth, worn at night. 10% of the population can be helped with anything, so if you are one of them, then you are done. If not, then a more precise device should be created and an increased cost.

Actually your morning headaches could be happening because your bite is off. If your bite is off, many times you will grind your teeth unknowingly at night and wake up in the morning with a headache.

A nightgaurd would help keep the muscles more relaxed, and protect your teeth and any restorations in your mouth from cracking or breaking.

A nightgaurd can help with headaches

When I have patients that suffer from headaches I start by making them a nightgaurd. This is piece of hard plastic that fits on their upper teeth. There are two kinds to consider. One covers all of the biting surfaces of the upper teeth with plastic. Your lower teeth hit the plastic when you bite down. We use the plastic to create a level bite, which can help your biting muscles relax. The second kind only covers the front upper teeth with plastic. When you bite down... more

The headache problem is due to your bite, not your teeth

When you wake up in the morning with headaches that seem to ease up over the course of the day, it could very well be from your teeth. Actually, it is not from a problem with a tooth or your teeth, but your bite, or as we dentists say, your occlusion. Everyone tries to have as many teeth touch one another when we close our mouths. In order to do this, we will thrust our jaw in whatever direction necessary to have as many teeth as possible meet. However, in doing this we can place a strain... more
