If so, you understand how uncomfortable this condition can be, and you\u2019re likely looking for ways to minimize or address the problem. Other than consulting with your primary care physician for help, you might also consider speaking with your dentist in case of a possible TMJ disorder. Read on to learn how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.distinctive-smiles.com\/tmj-therapy.html\">treating TMD<\/a> can help address migraines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Relation Between TMJ Dysfunction &amp; Migraines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise known as TMJ dysfunction, TMJ disorder is a situation in which the temporomandibular joints (TMJ)s)\u2014the joint connecting the lower jaw to the skull\u2014are overworked or damaged, resulting in discomfort, trouble with chewing, pain, the sensation of lockjaw, headaches, and more. There has even been some research that shows how TMD might contribute to migraines. According to a study from researchers in Brazil, people with the latter condition were three times more likely to struggle with TMD issues compared to those with fewer migraines. A different study also found that 80% of those with occasional migraines and up to 100% of individuals with chronic symptoms had TMD problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does TMD Lead to Migraines?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although these studies are worth keeping in mind, we can\u2019t conclude that TMD truly leads to migraines. This condition is a neurological one and needs further study to understand entirely. That said, the link between migraines and TMD might mainly be due to the nerve endings called nociceptors, which play a vital part in the body\u2019s ability to process pain. If TMD constantly creates nociceptor input, it could potentially worsen or trigger migraines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can TMD Treatment Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent a migraine, you might try some of the common measures, such as avoiding loud sounds, bright lights, and particular foods. For some people, TMD could be a possible trigger. If you do struggle with TMJ disorder, you can simply speak to your dentist about treatment. In many cases, they can recommend or provide personalized oral appliances designed to relieve the jaw joints and alleviate TMD symptoms. With this method, you might even be able to reduce the severity and frequency of migraines in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Distinctive Smiles of Dublin, our team strives to help patients achieve healthier, brighter, and more comfortable smiles for the long term.
