If you suffer from tension or migraine headaches, Riverview Dental may have a way to help reduce the frequency and intensity of your headaches: Stabilization splints. Appropriate for headache sufferers—as well as those who may be experiencing tooth wear, jaw muscle pain, or those who simply want to protect their mouth’s surfaces during a time of healing --a properly-fitted stabilization splint is smaller and more comfortable than a traditional biteguard. Stabilization splints can prevent and/or reduce the intensity of jaw clenching while you sleep, which can minimize headaches and create a variety of other benefits:

• Reduces teeth grinding and abnormal muscle contractions by nearly 70%
• Doesn’t trigger your gag reflex, meaning you’re more likely to wear it and benefit from it!
• Costs less and has fewer side effects than prescription drugs
• Allows you to avoid the need for tooth repair due to jaw clenching and teeth grinding in your sleep
