#teethproblem

There are several common dental problems that lead to headaches or migraines:

Teeth grinding: There are several indications that you can be a teeth grinder like sensitive teeth, aching jaw or face, earache problem but you have no ear problem, and you have teeth that are cracked, broken or flattened. Dental grinding sometimes is caused by stress, which the sufferer clench their teeth.     

Uneven or bad bite: If you have a teeth problem that is misaligned or uneven, some missing-out teeth, and loosened tooth most likely you have uneven bites. Uneven bites eventually had to make jaw muscles work harder to bring both lower and upper teeth together, which eventually results to jaw aching and pain.     

Bruxism: the dental term used for grinding teeth. Most people do not know they do teeth grinding especially during night times. Excessive bruxism can lead to broken teeth, fractured dental crowns, and split teeth fillings.

Decaying Teeth: Whenever the tooth enamel and the tooth structure is damaged, you have a tooth infection and eventually a gum disease problem. Most of the times when migraines occurs, the patient unknowingly ignore their decaying teeth but instead make a medical treatment with their doctors.       

Normally, most people overlook the warning signs, and misidentify to that of normal headaches. But there are some cases also that their medical doctors may not ignore the other possibilities.   

Generally, if the sufferer has migraine attacks, or normal headaches, and the medical doctor’s treatment methods does not work, they are often referred for second opinions like for dental headache cases.  At iSmile of Dr. Sonia Olivares, we received a lot of second opinions from medical doctors who would have their oral problems evaluated and checked.

Whenever a tooth, jaw and gumproblem arises, don’t ignore it go directly to the dentist. Especially if it is still on the onset start of the pain and do not wait until the pain is unbearable.

If your case had risen to an emergency, you may go to the Emergency Room (ER). They may give you medications to temporarily relieve your pain but still will tell you to go to the dentist. This means you had been charged double for a single service. The dentist will check-up your problem and can handle most oral dental issues. If it is an oral surgeon you need, he will recommend and suggest the best oral surgeon.     

If your case is for oral surgery, it depends on which of the following:

1.Impacted teeth. This is the most common case for wisdom teeth where the jaw doesn’t have enough space for all the teeth that are growing in, or because the tooth comes at the wrong angle and bumps into the tooth in front of it. In such case causes infections and make gums sore. Your dentist may tell for wisdom teeth extraction at the earliest onset of the problem. 

2. Cases of underbite or overbite teeth- the case for misaligned teeth or jaw where it needs orthognathic surgery. This is for people having a problem swallowing or chewing, sleep apnea or certain birth defects.

3.Teeth implants.A missing tooth can be replaced by dental implants where it is a titanium implant that is fixed on your jaw with a crown attached.   

4.Jaw-Joint problems. Cases like jaw pains, broken facial bone, TMJ disorders, jaw stiffness with headache, jaw-popping and incorrect jaw position can be treated by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Temporary relief like pain medications, oral devices, and even ice therapy may help but oral surgery is the solution.

5.Breathing and sleep problems- oral surgeons do treat cases of apnea and snoring. Doctors with specialized training can do this even in their doctor’s clinic, the same day you can go home. On a case to case basis, other doctors may recommend a CPAP machine or other appliance that can open your airways.

6.Cancer cases. It is true that oral surgeons with specialized training also do treat cancer patients. May it be cases on the neck (salivary glands, sinuses, throat,larynx, and lips) and the head.
