As you read in our last post, we are noticing more dentists using the NTI-tss Plus to treat their patients with migraines and headaches.  Check out this dentist in St. Louis, Dr. Dan Sindelar. In a press release on PRWeb.com, Dr. Sindelar announces treatment of chronic migraines and headaches in his St. Louis dental practice, Sindelar Dental. 

Dr. Sindelar says, "I've helped a lot of patients get their lives back without the use of prescription or over-the-counter drugs by treating headaches with a simple bruxism appliance."  PRWeb explains that bruxism is the grinding and clenching of the teeth - often caused by anxiety, stress, poor diet or poor sleep habits - that strains the muscles in the jaw and can lead to fractured, worn, and broken teeth. "Once we prevent this tension by fitting a simple appliance, the headaches often subside," says Dr. Sindelar.

Sometimes observable symptoms such as grinding of teeth, broken teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masseter muscle pain can alert the dentist to a problem. In other cases, it's simply good communication on a regular basis with a dental professional that uncovers the problem and leads to the right solution.

Tampa dentist, Randall Diez said, "Headaches, including migraines and recurring pain of the jaw, neck and even the back, can be very hard to diagnose and treat - for any practitioner. So often, our patients - even long time patients - don't think about discussing problems such as headaches or neck pain with the dentist. That's why our team makes a point of learning more about our patients' overall health, and especially conditions such as headache, jaw and neck pain." 

It has been a while since we have discussed what the NTI is and how it works, I think it is about time for a refresher on the subject. 

The NTI is a small, clear nightguard that only covers your four front teeth. Due to its small size, it is comfortable to wear while you sleep. The NTI-tss Plus™ is custom fabricated to be worn on either your upper or lower teeth and is made of safe, non-toxic thermoplastic that does not contain Bisphenol A.
