Your TMD May Be to Blame for Your Migraines & Headaches
Migraines and chronic headaches are two serious symptoms of TMJ dysfunction that can be debilitating if the underlying issues aren’t addressed.

Dr. Michel and our team at Sleep Solutions by Michel Dental aren’t looking for a temporary way to relieve your pain.

What’s Happening in My Body During a Headache or Migraine?
One of the most common causes of TMJ pain and migraines as a result of TMJ dysfunction is joint stress. If the inflammation of the muscles surrounding the temporomandibular joints and connective tissues is great enough, your stress could manifest into a migraine. These aren’t just simple headaches—for some patients, they can be debilitating and cause other symptoms, like nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, tingling sensation in the skin, or dizziness.
