Clenching teeth cause pain at top of head?!


Question: I know I clench my teeth. Does anyone know if it makes sense to have a random twinge of pain on the top of the head, toward the back of the crown, from clenching teeth? I could see where temples and areas of head closer to front of head may hurt, but not right on top or toward the back.

If this is a recurring pain, I would suggest you seek medical attention. I clench my teeth, but the worst I get is the pain in my temples, such as you described. It could be something else. Go to a doctor if you feel it's necessary. Try wearing a mouth guard at night to avoid teeth grinding, that might help too. If it's temporary and goes away on it's own within a few days, it's probably just one of those weird unexplained random pains we all feel from time to time.

you may have T.M.J. ask your dentist

defiantly...my daughter had this problem, will also cause to become loose and crack....you need a guard over your teeth at night, see dentist....

yes it could be the cause... and i think it's the cause...
u can have a device called night guard, and if the clenching is sever u can have with the night guard a muscle relaxant...
DOT take anything until the doctor tell u....

BUT to be more scientific u have to visit a dentist.. u may have other teeth problems that is caused by clenching...

all my talks were if the cause is dental... but visiting ur dentist well reveal that...............
