Biltmore Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry Addresses Common Patient Concerns: “Why Does My Jaw Hurt and I Have a Headache?”

Phoenix, AZ , 2025-04-27 — /EPR Network/ — Biltmore Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry, a leading dental practice in Phoenix, Arizona, committed to providing comprehensive oral health solutions, is launching an informative campaign to address a common patient inquiry: “Why does my jaw hurt, and I have a headache?” Recognizing the significant impact that these co-occurring symptoms can have on daily life, the practice will provide resources and information to help individuals understand potential causes and available treatments.

Jaw pain and headaches are often dismissed as isolated issues. However, when they occur together, they can indicate an underlying problem related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles. The TMJ acts like a sliding hinge, connecting the jawbone to the skull. Disorders affecting the TMJ and its associated muscles are collectively known as TMJ disorders (TMD).

Biltmore Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry aims to shed light on the potential link between jaw pain and headaches, offering insights into common causes such as:

• TMJ Disorders (TMD): Malalignment of the jaw joint, teeth grinding (bruxism), clenching, and arthritis can lead to pain in the jaw muscles and joints, often radiating to the head.
• Malocclusion (Misaligned Bite): An improper bite can place undue stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding structures, leading to pain and headaches.
• Stress and Tension: Psychological stress can manifest physically as muscle tension in the jaw and neck, contributing to both jaw pain and headaches.
• Dental Issues: Toothaches, infections, or other dental problems can sometimes radiate pain to the jaw and head.

Dr. Brandon Harris, DDS at Biltmore Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry, stated, “We frequently encounter patients experiencing the frustrating combination of jaw pain and headaches. It’s crucial to understand that these symptoms are often interconnected and can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. Our goal is to provide clarity on the potential causes and offer effective solutions to alleviate their discomfort.”

Biltmore Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry offers comprehensive evaluations to diagnose the underlying causes of jaw pain and headaches. Treatment options may include:

• Custom-made nightguards or splints to alleviate pressure from grinding and clenching.
• Occlusal adjustments to correct bite issues.
• Physical therapy and exercises to improve jaw mobility and reduce muscle tension.
• Medications for pain relief and inflammation.
• Stress management techniques.
• Restorative dental procedures are used to address underlying dental problems.

Individuals experiencing persistent jaw pain and headaches are encouraged to schedule a consultation with the experienced team at Biltmore Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry in Phoenix, AZ.
