HI Kerry,

A headache that specific is unlikely to be caused by mercury, and more

likely to be referred in origin. It could come from:

1. Sinus problem, just above the eye (mercury vapour could reduce immunity

here)

2. TMJ referral - especially after a lot of dental work, your mouth is open

a lot and that strains the joint. Also, the fillings can be too high,

altering your biting surface that may need adjustment.

3. Trigger points referring - usually the sternocleidomastoid muscle on the

front of the neck and termporalis muscle, or other neck muscles.

4. Cavitation - especially from upper left wisdom if removed.

5. Cranial joint obstruction.

6. A problem with a tooth that is referring there.

I would suggest that you find a physiotherapist/osteopath trained in

CranioSacral work that can use dry needling to break trigger point referral

(acupuncture does not always go deep enough into the trigger point) - search

the Upledger website for good therapists near you. Sounds to me that if you

get the right spot it will remove the pain.

Otherwise you might need your bite adjusted.

When you have many filling changed your bite changes a lot. Most dentists

overfill teeth so that you end up biting on fillings instead of natural

teeth.
