Relieve Chronic Headaches with Holistic Dental Care at Valley View Dental Health & Wellness

Do you struggle with persistent headaches that interfere with your daily life? At Valley View Dental Health & Wellness, we understand the significant impact chronic headaches can have on your overall well-being. Our holistic approach to dental care addresses the root causes of headaches, providing natural, patient-centered solutions to help you find lasting relief.

Understanding the Link Between Oral Health and Headaches

Chronic headaches are often linked to underlying oral health issues, such as:

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD)

Teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching

Misaligned bites (malocclusion)

Poor oral posture or tongue positioning

Sleep apnea and airway restrictions

At Valley View Dental, we take a comprehensive approach to identify and treat these triggers, using safe and effective methods that support your overall health.

Holistic Treatments for Headache Relief

We offer a range of services designed to address chronic headaches naturally and holistically:

TMJ/TMD Therapy

Tension in the jaw joint can cause debilitating headaches. Our treatments include gentle bite adjustments, custom oral appliances, and non-invasive therapies to relieve strain and improve alignment.

Custom Nightguards

If teeth grinding or clenching is contributing to your headaches, we can create a custom-fitted nightguard to protect your teeth and relax your jaw muscles.

Myofunctional Therapy

Improve oral posture and reduce muscle tension with exercises designed to retrain the muscles of your face and mouth. This therapy can alleviate pressure that contributes to headaches.

Sleep Apnea Solutions

Poor airway function can lead to headaches and disrupted sleep. We offer oral appliance therapy to improve breathing and promote better rest, reducing headache frequency.

Stress Management

Chronic stress often exacerbates headaches. Our holistic approach includes relaxation techniques like guided meditation, aromatherapy, and gentle therapies to reduce tension and promote calmness.

Nutritional Counseling

Inflammatory diets and nutritional deficiencies can be triggers for headaches. We provide guidance on diet changes to support overall health and reduce inflammation.

Orofacial Pain Relief

Using techniques such as craniosacral therapy, trigger-point therapy, and cold laser therapy, we target tension in the head, neck, and jaw to relieve chronic pain.
