Waking up with Headaches?
Waking up with Headaches?
Many people go to sleep feeling healthy only to awake with headaches. One of the possible culprits could be related to their jaw joints and bite (way teeth meet together). If you clench or grind your teeth during the night, this puts abnormal stresses on the muscles of the head and neck which can cause headaches. Additionally, if this person already has TMJ or jaw problems, it will exacerbate the problem.
Another possibility to consider is that of sleep apnea. Many people who brux or grind their teeth have some form of sleep apnea and/or snoring. Some of these patients are candidates for dental sleep appliances which can solve both problems.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office of Ronald W. Konig DDS, FAGD, LVIF, 713-668-2289
