Find TMJ Headache Relief In Seattle, WA Today
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
Many of us suffer with chronic headaches, neck tension, ear ringing, jaw joint pain, and facial pain for years before discovering the root cause of our health problem: Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMD for short.
TMDs are often inaccurately diagnosed as Fibromyalgia, Tinnitus, or hormonal changes, leading care professionals to address symptoms rather than the source of pain.
The identification and treatment of TMDs requires trained care and advanced knowledge of the most innovative protocols in dental medicine.
Cosmetic and Neuromuscular Dentist, Dr. Dan McKay, has extensive experience in treating Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders. Dr. McKay devotes many hours each year to mastering new methods, techniques, and technologies in this field so he can provide Seattle patients with effective headache relief.

Do you suffer from frequent tension headaches or migraines? Do you miss work, class, or social events because of migraines and headache pain? If so, you may benefit from headache and migraine treatment at our office. Many people suffer from headaches as a result of bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching. The added stress and strain on the jaw and facial muscles result in headaches that can cause a significant amount of pain and can interfere with your day-to-day life.
In order to reduce your headaches, our dentist may recommend a specialized mouth guard. Sometimes called a bite guard or night guard, this mouth guard fits over your teeth to prevent teeth grinding and clenching; these mouth guards are most often worn at night while you sleep to prevent unconscious clenching and grinding. The bite guard can also be used to hold your jaw in a more correct position, relieving excessive strain and helping to reduce the frequency of your headaches. Our team will make certain that your bite guard fits comfortably and effectively to treat your headache and migraine pain. To learn more about headache and migraine treatment, we welcome you to call or visit us today. We look forward to caring for you and your family!
Botox® for TMJ Treatment
A lot of folks are still unaware of this fairly new relationship between botox and dentistry for pain relief.
Dentists are experts in the entire myofascial region, including your teeth, gums, jaws, face, head, and neck. Plus, we’re already highly skilled at giving precision and painless injections in these delicate facial areas, and with the help of dental blocks (local anesthetic), we can provide a more comfortable and pain-free experience from the comfort of your dental home. This is why use Botox to treat chronic pain associated with TMJ dysfunction and may even be able to prevent migraines before they start.
Botox® for pain relief?
Yes! If you thought Botox® was only skin deep, think again! Dentists and doctors have been safely and effectively using Botox® to treat chronic pain for many years. The same purified protein that relaxes facial muscle contractions that cause fine lines and wrinkles can be used to relax muscle contractions that cause chronic pain.
Patients suffering from teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) or TMJ dysfunction have to live with chronic orofacial pain – but now, you don’t have to grin and bear it! A simple Botox® treatment can help prevent the micro muscle contractions that cause constant tension, stress, and pain.
