Understanding the TMJ-Migraine Connection
The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull. When this joint is misaligned or stressed, it can lead to a host of symptoms, including:
- Chronic headaches and migraines
- Jaw pain and clicking
- Neck and shoulder discomfort
- Ear pain or ringing
Many people don’t realize that their migraines could be stemming from TMJ issues. That’s where our expertise comes in.
Our Two-Pronged Approach to TMJ Therapy
At Westmoreland Dental Group, we utilize a combination of treatments to address TMJ-related migraines effectively:
1. Botox Injections: More Than Just a Cosmetic Treatment
While Botox is widely known for its cosmetic applications, it’s also a powerful tool in treating TMJ disorders. Here’s how it helps:
- Relaxes overactive jaw muscles
- Reduces tension headaches and migraines
- Decreases teeth grinding and clenching
- Provides relief that can last for months
Our skilled professionals administer Botox injections precisely to target the muscles causing your discomfort, offering a non-surgical solution to your pain.
2. Specialized Night Guards: Protection While You Sleep
Many TMJ issues worsen at night due to unconscious teeth grinding or clenching. Our custom-fitted night guards:
- Protect your teeth from damage
- Properly align your jaw
- Reduce muscle tension
- Improve sleep quality
Each night guard is tailored to your unique dental structure, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.

- Significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines
- Improve overall jaw function and comfort
