I actually hold patents on devices for the early minimally invasive removal of wisdon teeth and the collection of stem cells. Before wisdom teeth calcify they can be removed atraumatically with 2 drops of anaestheic in a couple of minutes and stem cells that form periodontal ligament, dental pulp,enamel, bone marrow can be collected and saved for future anti-aging treatments. In Japan they have grown a liver from stem cells from the tooth bud. Headaches after wisdom tooth extractions is not uncommon.

Integration with physicians is inevitable when treating headaches. I frequently send patients out for evaluation by neurologists, ENT's and other medical specialists. I recently treated a Radiologist for sleep apnea with an oral appliance and his wife looked as if she was in pain. We used a simple neuromuscular appliance (aqualizer) and did trigger point deactivation and her headaches were relieved. She returned for a neuromuscular work up and an orthotic and is now pain free after 50 years of continuous headache. This is not typical but it is possible. Unfortunately many patients who can be helped, often with great results are never referred to dentists for neuromuscular evaluation. I hate Headaches.org is not meant to be the end all for headache diagnosis and treatment but rather to open new pathways for headache sufferers who would like an alternative and frequently drug free alternative. Yes, I am guilty in promoting Neuromuscular Dentistry. I promote it because I believe it has an extremly important place in medicine. I found a very similar situation in the treatment of sleep apnea. I was involved in sleep research and the relation of jaw position to sleep apnea as an visiting assistant professor at Rush Medical School in the 1980's. Dental appliances are extremely successful for mild to moderate apnea but the medical field ignored them for over 25 years. In Feb 2006 new guidelines from the Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) endorsed oral appliances as a first line treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
