Do you suffer from regular headaches but don’t know why they are occurring? It could be down to you grinding your teeth, usually during the night or clenching your jaw. Both these issues can affect the alignment of the jaw and can create tired muscles and spasms. We can offer patients suffering from this a dental splint, which can stop or reduce any pain or discomfort. It can work on the following symptoms:

• Painful jaw joint
• Chewing muscle discomfort
• Jaw muscles feel stiff
• The jaw joint clicks, pops or grates
• The upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly

If we feel that a dental splint is the right choice for you, then we will custom make the splint using impressions from your teeth. We normally recommend wearing the splint all night so that habits such as teeth grinding and jaw clenching are stopped in their tracks. If both these are prevented this should reduce any tension headaches or migraines occurring.

We also use Botox for headache relief

Migraines can affect all parts of your life, from affecting your ability to work to your social life and wellbeing. Everything stops when a headache occurs and they can be one of the most debilitating kinds of headache there is. Some people spend half a month continuously suffering from migraines. At Harley Street Dental Studio, we use Botox therapy as way of treating migraines and helping migraine sufferers. We inject Botox around the head and the neck, which can lessen the symptoms of future headaches for around three months.

We have an expert team of staff that can work closely with you to determine the best treatment for your particular headaches. If we feel you have been grinding your teeth, then you can say goodbye to painkillers and hello to a life without tension headaches getting you down. Our Botox therapy and our dental splints are simple yet effective methods of dealing with certain types of headaches.
