Headaches, Jaw Pain and Teeth Grinding: Andrew's Story
From Dental Care Kids · Stamford, CT · Published September 9, 2026
About this video
Can TMJ dysfunction or teeth grinding contribute to severe headaches, jaw pain, and neck pain? In this patient testimonial, Andrew describes experiencing debilitating pain on the left side of his head, jaw, and neck—and the improvement he noticed after receiving an evaluation and treatment.
Andrew had been told for years that he grinds his teeth, but no one had connected that habit to the symptoms he was experiencing. After finding our Stamford dental practice and undergoing diagnostic testing, he says his headaches and jaw pain subsided within a short period of time.
If you experience recurring headaches or jaw pain, a comprehensive TMJ evaluation may help determine whether your bite, jaw muscles, or temporomandibular joints could be involved.
