Anchorage, Alaska - People who suffer from chronic headaches often see their regular physician and numerous specialist in order to seek help for the problem. However, Dr. Terry Preece of Healthy Smiles Dental recently posted a blog explaining that discussing one’s headaches with a dentist could also help find a solution to the problem.
The blog on www.anchoragehealthysmiles.com explains that headaches can be caused by temporomandibular joint disorder or TMD which causes inflammation in the jaw joints which could lead to serious discomfort. He further explains that Severe headaches including migraines often occur as a result of TMD because the temporomandibular joint is very close to the trigeminal nerve, which transmits more sensory input than any other neural pathway in the entire body.
The Anchorage dentist suggests that raising awareness about toothbrushes might help some patients find new ways of paying for dental care. He hopes that his patients will have quicker and easier trips to his office if they follow the advice in his blogs.
Aside from merely discussing gum disease, Dr. Preece’s latest post suggests treatment plans and products the reader can discuss with his or her dentist if they are concerned they are concerned about their overall oral health. Taking care of one’s teeth is an important part of one’s overall health says Dr. Preece, and he hopes to make this practice a little bit easier for his readers by giving them some pointers that will help guide them along in the process.
