Can grinding your teeth cause a constant headache?

Question:

I'm experiencing a almost constant, low level headache and it seems to be centered behind my eyes. So far, tests (blood, CT, ect) have all come back normal. Ive noticed the past few mornings that my jaw seems a little stiff. Could teeth grinding be causing this?
Answers:
Its possible you could be experiencing bruxism, talk to your dentist, some peopple who are overly stressed or have parasites can have this.

Other Answers:
sounds like it could work that way.

yes, it can, and does. you should go to the dentist and have them make you this mould thing that you wear at night so that you don't grind your teeth at night, and if that is the case, your headaches should go away. also, grinding your teeth is bad for your jaw and teeth.

It can cause TMJ. Get a special mouth piece to sleep in that will help you from grinding

Yes, and also, grinding your teeth might be a sign of TMJ, tubular musculer jointal disorder I think is what it is, and you might need a guard to wear on your teeth at night. But yea, the nerve endings in your teeth are probably sending pain impulses to your head, and causing that, it did for my mum anyway. Hope it gets better for you!

Tooth grinding could cause this it is call bruxism, you should go to your dentist they can make you a splint to wear that can help.

Yes! You probably have TMJD (tempromandibular joint disorder). Go see your dentist and he/she can make bite splint for you to wear at night.

Oh yeah I have grinned off my back teeth on my left side. I got replacement ant they are also grinded off. Excedrin Tension will help with the pain but you do need to see your dentist to get fitted for a night guard. Be sure to use it EVERY night so you keep your teeth UNlike me.

Yes it can! Consult with your dentist about getting you a night guard to wear. Most insurance companies won't pay for it, but they may in your case if the dentist or your general doctor talks to them
