Address teeth grinding or excessive chewing
People must eat in order to exist, and chewing is an important part of this process. Grinding teeth and clenching the jaw, which affects up to 80% of the population, can lead to tooth wear, breakages, pain, limited jaw joint movement, migraines, and headaches.
Excessive chewing, on the other hand, has been related to an increase in headaches and even migraines, according to research. The study focused on gum chewing, and researchers discovered that people who chewed gum regularly had higher tension headaches and migraines. You should also think about if you clench or grind your teeth at night since this might have a similar effect. Indeed, scientists believe that over 40 million people suffer from bruxism, or severe teeth grinding. Jaw pain, headaches, and even migraines can all be symptoms of this condition.
