PLEASE TRY THIS, IT MIGHT HELP

[Elly 1]

I have suffered migraines for 25 years. Earlier this year my dentist suggested I try a Gum Guard as I often wake up with a migraine. Apparently if unbeknown to yourselves you grind your teeth in your sleep the pressure of doing so can start a migraine. My dentist made me a gum guard and it has helped no end. I still get migraines but I DO NOT now wake up with them. Hope this might be helpful to all other sufferers.

I should be a sales rep for this company but RIGHT GUARD, $26.99 at Walgreens - you can customize it yourself very easily.  Very good product and recommended by neurologists.

Hi.

It has indeed been reported that some people who grind their teeth during sleep could benefit from wearing a mouth guard. However, not every migraine sufferer can benefit from this and some mouth guards are too expensive to purchase without any certainty whether it would be of help to them or not.

If you can have one made by your dentist, like what Elly 1 had done, and the cost would be reasonable, then I would advise you to try them to see if it would ease or prevent your migraines.

Thank you to the thread starter for bringing this to our attention.
