About 95 percent of migraines are connected to dentistry in some way. It would make sense perfect if dentists were more involved in the migraine treatment process.
With some of the modern advances in dentistry, new aspects of the cause of a migraine are continually uncovered. Things such as imbalances in a person’s mouth can cause the migraine. With modern technology, machines can show where teeth meet and the position they’re located in the mouth, in addition to other precise findings. It enables doctors and dentists to have an easier time trying to pinpoint the root of the migraine.
More than 36 million Americans suffer from some type of migraine headaches. That’s why the National Headache Foundation has designated June as National Migraine Awareness Month.
Migraines have an impact on about 25 percent of American homes, according to research. Roughly nine out of 10 people who suffer from migraines are forced to miss work, school or some kind of function.
People lose about $13 billion each year as a result of missing work due to a migraine, according to the Migraine Research Foundation.
