I used to get lots of headaches from 15-25, maybe 3 a week. I learned to live with it. At 25 I had my wisdom teeth removed for the regular reasons, and noticed that I got a lot less headaches in the next few weeks. I now get maybe 2 headaches a month. I've never heard of this from anyone except myself, and doctors just go "hmm. intereseting." -- just wanted to share this.
- baconner 11y agoTooth root sensitivity is a well know cause of headaches as i recall. You aren't alone. I had years of terrible headaches spawning from an enflamed area above one of my molars (not wisdom tooth though). After finally getting a root canal the frequency dropped dramatically.
- StavrosK 11y agoTwo headaches a month? That's a lot of headaches, no?
- stordoff 11y agoCompared to three a week, it's a significant decrease, even if it wasn't a complete cure. Personally, I wouldn't be all that worried about two headaches a month or so (then again, I've had a near-constant headache for the last two years, so my perception may be a little skewed).
- jerf 11y agoYes, but when you've been doing 2-4 a week for most of your life, it still seems like a godsend. (My reasons for headache (long story short, celiac) are completely different but that part of my story is similar.) I clock in at maybe 1 bad one a month now and I usually know what I did to screw up.
- bane 11y agoI have chronic headaches and my dentist mentioned that when mine were removed it might help. It didn't, but it was certainly something that they knew about.
