got mystery headaches?


Do you or someone you love suffer from mystery headaches? Well, file this post under Night Guard, TMJ, Bruxism, Tooth Grinding, NightGuard.

My wife used to get headaches fairly often when she was younger, and her parents were quite worried about it. As usual, doctors are quick to prescribe a battery of tests and blood work, when the problem turned out to be something much less malignant. They found out that she was just grinding her teeth at night. Apparently, this is a common problem that can easily be avoided with a basic dental night guard. It is something that doctors should be providing more information on, instead of immediately assuming that the headaches are being caused by something much more serious. You may as well try the easy fixes before jumping off the diagnosis deep-end.
