Chronic headaches are unfortunately a condition that affects thousands of people around the world, and most people will visit their doctor or chiropractor to discuss the issues. It isn’t something you usually consider asking your dentist about, but sometimes, your dentist is exactly the person you need to see.
Dr. David Shirazi is a TMJ and sleep expert who teaches about topics of health, TMJ, and the numerous sleep and breathing issues that affect both adults and children. He joins me this week to discuss causes and potential treatments for headaches, and how to establish when you should see a dentist regarding them.
Listen in this week as we discuss headaches, sleep apnea, and the relationship between TMJ and headaches and migraines. Hear how treating jaw problems can reduce or get rid of headaches and migraines, how he treats both children and adults who experience these issues, and the various health issues that could be related to TMJ disorder.
