Helping You Prevent Migraines
What if there was a drug-free way to help you reduce or void your headaches altogether? Our dentists at Highland Dental Centre may be able to help, by fitting you for a stabilization splint – a small, comfortable mouthpiece that helps keep you from clenching your teeth while you’re asleep.
What is a Stabilization Splint?
Stabilization splints have been proven to reduce headache triggers, like abnormal muscle contractions and teeth grinding, by nearly 70%. Because they’re small and unobtrusive, they don’t engage your gag reflex like other mouth appliances can.
Stabilization splints are also a viable option for you if you find yourself grinding your teeth, feeling pain in your jaw muscle, or just wanting to give your teeth’s biting surfaces and surrounding hard tissues some protection while recovering from dental trauma or a dental procedure.
