Did you know that our bite ages just like our body does? Years of dental work wear down our natural teeth at different rates. For instance, you likely have fillings in some, but not all of your teeth. Some may be amalgam and others ceramic. Any crowns you have could be gold or porcelain. After a while, your teeth and jaw can get out of alignment, forcing tendons and muscles to work harder to compensate.
As we grow older, our joints and cartilage also thin out. This results in changes to the angles in our overall teeth and jaw region. You may bite down with more force. All of these things can lead to annoying headaches and unbearable migraines. Here are a few more things that could cause force-related symptoms in the head and jaw:
You may have long forgotten the reason for your current symptoms, or simply dismissed a trauma as a minor event. In fact, we often blame our headaches or migraines on several factors, including a sedentary job and/or weight gain, in addition to the list above!
