Dental Headaches

	Tweet

One in eight Americans suffers from headaches, according to the U.S. Army Medical Department. While diet, stress and fatigue can be leading causes, a poorly aligned bite or missing teeth can also lead to frequent headaches.

Signs that your mouth may be causing your headaches include:

* Pain behind the eyes.
* Sore jaw muscles.
* Teeth grinding.
* Clicking or popping of jaw joints.
* Head or scalp that’s painful to the touch.
* Earaches or ringing in the ears.
* Neck shoulder or back pain.
* Dizziness.

If you suffer from frequent headaches and have these symptoms, speak to your dentist. The problem may be easy to treat.
