Head Pain

head painIf you have a pain in your head, like a headache, would you immediately think that you have a problem with your teeth? Most people would not. The truth is, our Los Angeles head pain treatment expert has found that there are a number of dental issues that can cause head pain in our patients. By understanding what can cause head pain, you can work with our expert in head pain in Los Angeles to find relief.

Dental stress is one reason you might be experiencing headaches. What does this mean? According to our expert in head pain in Los Angeles, dental stress often comes from clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth. These actions will often lead to pain behind the eyes, sore jaw muscles, or a painful scalp.

Another reason you might expect head pain due to dental issues is because of an unstable bite. This could be caused by a number of reasons such as a missing tooth or misaligned bite. When your bite is not correct, the muscles in your head, like those near your jaw, must work harder to do tasks like swallowing. When muscles work harder, you can certainly expect pain. In most cases, our Los Angeles head pain treatment expert can fix this with dental appliances like orthodontics to straighten the teeth or things like implants or bridges to fill spaces in the mouth.

You might also find that you are getting headaches due to infections of the teeth known as abscesses. These infections occur in the root of the tooth and are usually fairly simple to fix with a root canal and antibiotics. However, if the abscess is not treated, the infection can spread to other areas of the body, including throughout the head. It is important that you get any infection in your body treated as quickly as possible. You do not want it to spread, as if it does, you could be facing permanent nerve damage, and the infection can spread into your body. It can even affect your heart and brain.

These are just a few reasons why your head pain could be associated with tooth pain. If you are experiencing head, tooth, or mouth pain, it is a good idea to make an appointment with our expert.
