I have had headaches and migraines for years. Several years ago, I found I could relieve my headaches if I could locate infections in the gums. I start by locating a spot which bleeds relatively easily (I think from food getting stuck in between the teeth in the pits), and then cleaning that area until the bleeding stops.
Even though I brush, floss, and use a waterpik religiously, I still have problems with this. Is there a procedure or something which could help with this? Has anyone else associated headaches with gum infections? I believe it has something to do with irritation of the trigeminal nerve.
