When you have a headache you may not immediately think that it could be related to your teeth. Yet many patients have come to us having suffered from headaches for years, often having visited specialists, had CAT scans and consulted their opticians for eye checks, and ingested bucket loads of pain killers. When all along the problem was dental in origin due to a problem with their bite which puts unwanted stress on surrounding muscles. Curing patients of their long term headaches is an extremely rewarding experience for us.
