Headaches and teeth: how are they connected?

Continue to suffer endless muscle pain, soreness and neck and shoulder discomfort.

Have you ever thought that it could be a headache connected to your teeth ? Let's see better what it is.

The connection between headaches and teeth

Very often the headache is blamed and he goes to look for the cause in colds, food intolerances, visual or emotional problems or generalized stress.

If you have been suffering from headaches that even touch on very acute moments, the possibility should also be opened that this is pain caused by dysfunctions at the level of the dental arches .

If operations have been carried out to heal any gaps between the teeth, with prostheses not adherent enough to the space, headache may arise; another classic case is when the teeth are clogged poorly, inaccurately or with unsuitable materials.

Jaws, muscles, teeth, nervous system are closely linked: when the occlusion of the teeth occurs, tinnitus can be triggered (buzzing and whistling), feeling of being worn in the ear, headaches, headaches and pain in the neck.

Even incorrect posture or chewing only on one side can lead to malocclusion; or the famous nocturnal bruxism, which generates continuous wear of the teeth and hinders the alignment of the same, creating a lot of tension at the level of the facial muscles with consequent headaches caused by the continuous tightening at the level of the temporomandibular joint.

It is always necessary to observe if the headache is associated with crunching near the ear or the feeling of having sand inside, because it could be a headache linked to a little functional situation at the level of the teeth

Dentosophy is the discipline that goes to study the posture starting from the mandibular function and from the arrangement of the teeth and vice versa.

The wisdom tooth and the headache

In many approaches, the hypothesis of removing a wisdom tooth is not contemplated, unless there is an urgent and essential need connected to repeated inflammatory states.

It is good to keep in mind that a wisdom tooth that grows and becomes space with a certain strength can give different problems from the moment it starts to make room, from the initial moment.

The growth of a tooth in contrast to the others generates a real disturbance field; the first to theorize this possibility of action of the wisdom tooth as a nuisance field was Dr. Ernesto Adler, who worked tirelessly in his clinic in Lloret De Mar and found connections for example between a tonsillar focus and rheumatoid arthritis or succeeded in connect many severe inflammatory forms to the wisdom tooth. He worked with a lot of passion in disturbance fields and focuses and died in his nineties in November 1996.

In summary, according to his theory, in the course of evolution our jaw would have been shrinking with consequent less space for the wisdom tooth; irritations and disorders of the trigeminal may be triggered by the rise of a wisdom tooth and with them also alterations in the functionality of internal organs such as the heart, small intestine, ears and the body's water system.

Adler used to say that the wisdom tooth (eighth odontone) is also called judgment because it can mean the absolute loss and generate a series of local disorders (precisely headache and also paresthesia, otitis, vertigo, headache, loss of strength in the arm) and distance disorders ( agoraphobia, claustrophobia, changes in behavior, epilepsy, even psychiatric disorders).
