Headache & Migraine Prevention

If You Need Better Headache Treatment in Seattle

We Offer Options For Effective Headache Treatment in Seattle and All of Puget Sound.

Do you get chronic headaches?

Have you been told before that you might have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder?

The temporomandibular joint is susceptible to many of the conditions that affect other joints in the body, including ankylosis, arthritis, trauma, dislocations, developmental problems and tumor formation.

Symptoms associated with TMJ disorders can include:

  • Biting or chewing difficulty or discomfort
  • Clicking, popping, or grating sound when opening or closing the mouth
  • Dull, aching pain in the face
  • Earache (particularly in the morning)
  • Headache (particularly in the morning)
  • Hearing loss
  • Migraine (particularly in the morning)
  • Jaw pain or tenderness of the jaw
  • Difficulties when opening or closing the mouth

Because the disorder transcends the boundaries between several health-care disciplines — in particular, dentistry and neurology — there are a variety of treatment approaches.

Did you know nighttime jaw clenching from TMJ disorder can lead to persistent migraine pain and chronic headaches? Too often people go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for their TMJ pain before coming to Dr. Brian McKay and Advanced Cosmetic & Laser Dentistry for headache treatment in Seattle and all over Puget Sound.

The options we offer for real relief include both the application of Botox – surprisingly effective – and, the only patented, FDA approved dental device for treating TMJ and migraines – the NTI.

Dr. Brian McKay has had extensive training in TMJ treatment. He was the first in the Pacific Northwest to offer the new, FDA approved NTI device, which is superior to drugs, and is without side effects. The NTI offers lasting headache treatment in Seattle.
