Headache Due To Loss Of Teeth

Missing teeth have many consequences on the overall wellbeing of an individual and one of those major consequences is a persistent and chronic headache. When a tooth or several teeth are missing, the opposing tooth or teeth undergo the process of supra-eruption that is they over-erupt since they have no contact to maintain their intended positions. This also leads to tissue trauma to the gums in the (empty) area and can be very painful. Day to day activities like chewing food become a difficult and uncomfortable experience. Missing teeth also leads to a traumatic contact of the remaining dentition during the process of mastication and even during the simple opening of the mouth. This tends to puts added stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that is the jaw joint, this leads to overloading and cause headaches. The forces aren't distributed evenly, the remaining teeth experience added pressure as now they have been doing the work of multiple teeth rather than just their own, this causes overloading and leads to persistent headaches.

In case of loss of your back chewing teeth called the molars, there is a lack of support and there occurs random drifting of teeth causing unusual biting habit which again puts excessive stress on the TMJ which causes pain and leads to headache. If this condition remains untreated, there is an overloading of stress and ultimately transforms into the issue of chronic headache. A lot of people complain of chronic headaches after losing teeth and consuming painkillers isn't a solution for this.

If you have missing teeth and experience constant headaches, you might be suffering from a temporomandibular joint disorder that is a jaw joint disorder. To treat this condition, it is important to replace the missing teeth with dental implants or other feasible options. This will correct the unstable bite and help redistribute the masticatory forces equally to remove excessive stress from the temporomandibular joint. A lot of people suffering from this issue have gained complete relief post replacement of missing teeth. Replacement of missing teeth with the help of dental implants will help you gain relief from the persistent headaches and treat temporomandibular joint disorder.

Having a constant headache can make a person's life really miserable. They aren't able to concentrate on anything, the headache sometimes gets so severe that the patient starts becoming aloof and reluctant. Even day to day activities are affected and in the long term, this affects one's social life to a great extent and even worse affects the overall health and wellbeing of an individual.

However, all of these things can be avoided and easily treated by replacing the lost teeth. Replacing lost teeth by the use of a dental implant is one of the best and permanent solution. A dental implant is like a screw that is inserted in the jaw bone and acts like the roots of your natural teeth. This prevents bone loss and even helps to regenerate bone to some extent. Later a crown is fitted on top of this which behaves like natural teeth. Unlike other methods of replacement of teeth, dental implants offer a permanent solution and once healed it acts and looks like a natural tooth. The forces are now equally distributed, bite corrected and headaches gone.
