How many Migrainers experience dental pain? Probably more than you think. I just recently started hearing that certain dental pain can be attributed to Migraines, or at least dental pain is a common symptom that is reported. If your like me I’ve talked to my dentists in the past about the jaw pain specifically and they shrug their shoulders and basically ignore me. I’ve brought up the jaw pain with my Endocrinologist as well and they typically say “talk to your dentist”, and again ignore it. I as a patient need to stand up for my rights and start demanding the doctors do the right thing. We as patients must advocate for ourselves and get the medical profession to provide services that they should rather than pushing us through like a bunch of cattle. This starts by getting a good dental plans to find the right dentist.
So I am going to try to find a better dental plan, with a different dentist to see if something can be resolved. I just found a great website that will search for dental plans and dental supplemental insurance in your specific zip code, the website is DentalPlans.com — it seems to be a great place to start looking for an affordable dental care plan. I resolve this year to get to the bottom of how dental pain and migraines are related.
