Migraine Relief
Migraines can be more than just headaches—they often bring throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and even vision disturbances. At Sunny Day Dental, we understand how debilitating they can be, and we offer solutions that may help ease your discomfort.
Some dental-related causes of migraines include teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw misalignment, or tension in the TMJ (temporomandibular joint). By addressing these issues with custom nightguards, bite adjustments, or TMJ therapy, we can often reduce the frequency and severity of migraine pain.
In addition to dental solutions, lifestyle adjustments such as stress management, good sleep habits, hydration, and limiting certain triggers (like caffeine or strong odors) can play an important role in long-term migraine relief.
Our goal is to help you find lasting comfort so you can get back to living your life without being held back by pain.
What are Migraines?
- A migraine is not just a regular headache – it’s a neurological condition that can cause severe, throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head.
- Duration – migraines can last anywhere from a few hours to several days.
- Common symptoms – include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, sound, or smells.
- Possible warning signs (aura) – some people experience visual disturbances (flashes of light, zigzag patterns, blind spots) or tingling sensations before the headache begins.
- Triggers – migraines can be brought on by stress, certain foods or drinks, hormonal changes, lack of sleep, or environmental factors.
- Impact – migraines can interfere with daily life, making it difficult to work, concentrate, or carry out normal activities.
