Connecting Dentistry and Tinnitus
Many people fail to understand the connection between dental work and the ringing in their ears.
One of the possible causes for tinnitus is an instrument used in the dental office. The high-pitched sound of the drill could lead to tinnitus. Fillings and other dental work could also cause problems with a ringing in the ear.
The reason for the connection is the proximity of the oral cavity to the ears. There is a connection of the jaw to the skull that is at the base of the ears. Because of this, it makes sense that the problem of tinnitus is connected to your oral health.
What an Oral Surgeon Can Do
Our oral surgeon can help relieve the problem of tinnitus in a few ways.
