Are you able to help me with my headaches?
Absolutely! We are highly experienced in managing headaches in Perth.

Headaches can be debilitating, sometimes bad enough for people not to enjoy or be able to complete normal duties.

An estimated 80% of all headaches occur from muscle tension, which primarily originates from bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching teeth), which in turn is usually caused by a sleeping disorder such as sleep apnoea.

As dentists, we are experts in assisting you with headache related symptoms. We carry out a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms and dental concerns. A sleep study can be performed if we suspect you have a sleep disorder.

What treatment can be performed for my headaches?
Depending on the cause, the management of headaches includes:

Treating the sleep disorder, if it is applicable
At times, dental work in correcting the bite may assist your headaches
Providing you a night guard, or occlusal splint
Why do my ears hurt with jaw joint issues?
Most importantly during growth and development the structures of the ear, the TM Joint and the jaw muscles originate from similar cells.

If the jaw muscles get overused or stressed, they can become tight, and cause tightening of the surrounding muscles.

This can lead to tension in the inner ear and cause ringing in the ears and/or TMJ ear pain.

The human jaw joint has a lot of very sensitive tissue that hurts when it is compressed, especially during opening and closing.

The tension in the muscles and tissues is usually responsible for this compression.

Expert dentists to keep you away from all types of TMJ Symptoms.
The above symptoms usually worsen during periods of stress, tension and anxiety. When stressed, you may clench or bruxism during sleep (TMJ bruxism). This puts a lot of stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and causes discord between the joint and the surrounding muscles. This can cause the above symptoms.

At Dental at Joondalup we diagnoses and treats all types of TMJ disorders. If you are concerned about your temporomandibular joint or have any annoying symptoms, we recommend that you ask a specialist to inspect your temporomandibular joint. TMJ disorders are often easy to treat without medical or surgical intervention, but this is less likely to happen simply by ignoring the problem and hoping it will disappear.
