I have headaches due to bruxism! do i have to see a doctor?

Yes, a dentist...: A dentist who likes to treat TMJ disorders (tmd) is likely your best bet for solutions... Medicines can help you feel better initially; special appliances, and potential small alterations to your bite through a combo of equilibration/restorations/orthodontics could give you longer lasting health and stability... We sometimes also work in conjunction with physical therapists and chiropractors...

See your dentist: You should see your dentist for evaluation of you teeth and possible construction of a bite appliance for your bruxism.

Headaches: If you are certain that your headaches are related to your grinding your teeth, a dentist is the professional to see. A dentist trained in neuromuscular dentistry will do an appraisal of not just your teeth, but also the muscles of your head and neck. An appliance can be custom made to reduce/eliminate the bruxing. He will also be able to advise you if a consultation with a neurologist is needed.

Yes: Yes, a dentist can make your a nightguard.

See your PCP: Any headache must be viewed as a valid medical disorder and the headache assessment must be comprehensive. See your PCP for evaluation, tests, imaging and treatment options.
