Reclaim Your Days With Personalized Headache Relief

There are many potential causes of chronic headaches. One of the most common and often overlooked is nighttime teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. You can clench or grind your teeth while you sleep without even realizing it. Over time, this constant pressure can damage your enamel, strain your jaw muscles, and trigger migrane and tension headaches.

Dr. Kaady takes a comprehensive, holistic approach to relieving these symptoms and protecting your long-term wellness. Your personalized care plan may include:

Custom-Fit Oral Appliance Therapy

We create a professionally fitted oral appliance that you wear while sleeping. This device keeps your teeth apart, prevents grinding, and relieves overnight jaw strain. Your muscles heal, reducing headache frequency and intensity.

Jaw Alignment and Airway Support

In some cases, underlying bite imbalances or airway restrictions contribute to bruxism and chronic muscle tension. If needed, we may recommend clear aligner therapy or Vivos appliances to gently correct these issues. These solutions will support better breathing and jaw function.

Myofunctional Therapy

Proper tongue posture, nasal breathing, and muscle balance play an essential role in long-term headache and TMJ relief. We collaborate with trusted specialists to address these factors for deeper, lasting healing.

Nutritional Counseling

We work closely with functional nutritionists who can assess your diet and help you identify areas of concern.

Every treatment plan begins with a detailed exam. Dr. Kaady will carefully examine your bite, airway, and jaw muscle function. He’ll uncover the root cause of your headaches and guide you toward solutions that promote healing.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction For Teenagers & Adults

Again, there can be many causes of a headache and it should not automatically jump to dental. But prolonged muscle fatigue within the jaw coupled with jaw clenching or bruxism can put a chronic strain on the jaw and surrounding musculature and a given patient’s cause of jaw tension or headaches.

Since grinding occurring at night is hard for the patient to consciously realize that they are grinding or clenching their teeth Bridgetown Dental looks into bruxism indications, jaw strain, bite function and other contributors to symptoms.

Is Dental Headache Treatment Safe?

The treatment needs to be individualized to this specific person, for this specific person’s condition. Bridgetown Dental’s approach is to be conservative with the most individualized treatment possible when warranted and to be aware of all contributing factors instead of using a blanket treatment protocol. Present practice options involve oral appliance therapy; airways and structural support; myofunctional therapy, and referral to other medical professionals if warranted. New, significant, fast-acting, or concerning neurologic-like symptomatology should always be evaluated by the appropriate medical practitioners.

What happens during a migraine headache consultation?

An initial appointment involves listening and identifying potential trigger factors. Your appraisal can include:

  • Discussion of headaches - Discuss how often you experience headaches and where. Describe any other symptoms you experience.
  • Dental examination - Your teeth are examined for areas of wearing. Other structures of the mouth are also examined.
  • The jaw examination is completed - Jaw movements are observed; muscles may also be evaluated for discomfort or tautness and also chewing habits with evaluation for excessive biting forces.

The bite may also be analyzed along with assessment of the tooth contacts; airway issues if these have a relevancy for your dental complaint.The diagnosis of a potential issue related to the cosmetic dentistry and recommendations is provided to you with possible therapeutic management discussed in regard to your presenting issue.

Client Reviews

Continually the best dental care I have ever received. This is a well run, professional practice. Dr. Kaady and his wonderful staff have a thorough knowledge of dentistry and understand how the entire body and lifestyle can impact oral health. I feel incredibly fortunate that I found Bridgetown Dental.
Mary F.
Dr. Kaady is a compassionate listener but also communicates directly about your dental needs - no ambiguity whatsoever. I was a reluctant and fearful patient BEFORE seeing Dr. Kaady. Three crowns later, I think Dr. Kaady is quite amazing: fast, efficient while tending to my anxieties about pain and noise. I have great confidence in the whole team at Bridgetown.
Lora L.
As someone who has a level of anxiety around dental work, Dr. Kaady and his team put you at ease with their demeanor and by clearly outlining your treatment plan. I cannot recommend this crew enough. I have moved out of town but refuse to switch offices. I tell everyone I know to get in here.
Anthony J.

5 months and several appointments getting my teeth back in shape and still a wonderful experience as a returning patient. They take the time to understand your questions and concerns. Then they provide you with the info, answers, and options for required work moving forward, scheduling, and costs. Great overall service. The office is very modern and comfortable.

Dr Kaady and all the staff that work with him at Bridgetown Dental are amazing. I have always had excellent care whether it is dental cleaning or something more serious like a filling or a crown. Not only is the atmosphere friendly but this is one of the most affordable dentists I have been to.
Jane S.
Can't say much more than that they are great! My son was treated for broken front teeth some years ago. They did such an impressive job that I decided to change dentists. Great people, and excellent work! Best dentist and assistants I have ever had!
