Do you suffer from migraines? Your dentist can help!

Migraines & Dental Visits & the NTI Device 

More than 40 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches and many sufferers don't know that a visit to the dentist may be the best way to treat a migraine.

Migraines are a major problem because they make people unable to function and accomplish the most basic of tasks. Medication helps but it doesn't completely eradicate the problem.

That's why dentists have seen an increase in the number of patients visiting them with bruxism symptoms. Migraines can sometimes stem from teeth grinding because the act of the teeth clenching adds unnecessary pressure to the jawbone and other facial structures.

It's possible for bruxism to be cured by wearing specially made devices like gums shields. This way there will be no contact between tooth surfaces while the person is sleeping.

Although many people never experience migraines around 75 % of people encounter some type of bruxism in their life. Bruxism may also develop if a person is dealing with various types of stress.

Regular dental visits can curb problems like bruxism and can help in the treatment of migraines.

NTI Dental Device

Easily fit, involves no surgery, and has no risk of side effects compared to pharmaceutical migraine treatments.

Ask your dentist about the NTI device! The NTI device is a small "clip-like" device that is worn at night. The device keeps your teeth from touching, and therefore helps to suppress tension from grinding or clenching your teeth in the night that may cause migraines.
