When the bite is out of balance, it can put pressure on nerves in the face, leading to pain throughout the head and neck.<\/p>\n<p>Headache treatments available at our Wilson office include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wilsondentists.com\/botox-cosmetic.html\">BOTOX<span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif\">\u00ae<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif\"> Cosmetic<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Custom mouthguards<\/li>\n<li>Pain management with TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) technology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Though many patients might associate BOTOX<span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif\">\u00ae<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif\"> Cosmetic with plastic surgery, targeted injections can also relax muscles by inhibiting certain nerve signals.
