A woman originally came to us after falling and injuring her teeth on a sidewalk. She attributed the fall to the use of painkillers prescribed to control chronic jaw pain and migraine headaches. After addressing the acute issue, we talked about her overall oral health and specifically—how years of migraines could be a symptom of her poor bite (malocclusion).

As a result, she no longer requires the use of painkillers.
