California Dental – Headaches and Jaw Pain
If you have Frequent Headaches and Pain in lower jaw you may want to Check your Posture.
People that experience frequent headaches or pain between the earlobe and jawline should consul their dentist about TMD. Having poor posture will often time place the spine in a position that may cause stress to the jaw joints. When you slouch or hunch over your lower jaw shifts forward, causing the upper and lower teeth to not fit together properly. Your skull also moves back on the spinal column which may cause headaches. This puts stress on muscle, joints and bones. Having good posture is important and it is just as important to realize how posture can affects your oral health.
