About this video
Can problems with your bite or jaw contribute to recurring headaches and ear pain? Natasha had been experiencing extreme headaches and earaches for nearly a year—sometimes lasting for days and making it difficult for her to concentrate.
After a specialist found no apparent problem, Natasha visited Dental Care of Stamford. Although her teeth were healthy and free of cavities, a closer evaluation of her bite revealed another possible source of her discomfort.
In this patient testimonial, Natasha describes her experience with a diagnostic dental appliance, the relief she felt, and the progress she noticed after only a few weeks of bite-focused treatment.
Headaches and ear pain can have many possible causes. When these symptoms occur alongside jaw tension, facial pain, teeth grinding, clenching, or bite problems, a TMJ and bite evaluation may help determine whether the jaw joints or surrounding muscles are contributing.
