Have you been suffering from long-term migraines that leave you feeling nauseous and unable to undertake normal everyday activities?
Recent research advises that you get your teeth checked!
Most doctors will try to treat migraines with painkillers without actually looking at the underlying cause.
We often have patients visiting Creative Smiles with these symptoms. In some cases, we find the cause to be tooth grinding at night (bruxism) or clenching of the jaws. Some patients are unaware that they even carry out such actions!
In certain cases, these patients have been treated successfully using a bite-raising appliance to help relieve the stress caused by the grinding or clenching of the muscles of the face.
They are simple, custom-made devices that are worn at night.
In some cases here at Creative Smiles, they have improved symptoms in a matter of days!
