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:
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.

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.
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.
An initial appointment involves listening and identifying potential trigger factors. Your appraisal can include:
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.
Headaches can have many causes, ranging from everyday factors like stress, sleep deprivation, and caffeine withdrawal to more serious underlying health concerns. One often-overlooked contributor is jaw tension, especially from unconscious habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching, often during sleep. This constant pressure on the jaw and surrounding muscles can trigger chronic tension headaches or even migraines.
At Bridgetown Dental, we take a personalized, whole-health approach to relieving migraines and chronic headaches. After a careful evaluation, we may recommend custom-fitted oral appliances designed to relieve pressure on your teeth, jaw joints, and facial muscles while you sleep.
