Misaligned Teeth Cause Tinnitus and Other Health Problems
Jay Neuhaus, DDS, has revealed that he uses neuromuscular dentistry to measure and correct imbalances in the alignment and efficiency of a person’s teeth.
He uses a Tekscan tooth pressure device which measures the pressure exerted by each individual tooth. Dr. Neuhaus believes, as a number of other medical professional do, that underlying muscular pathology, such as a poor bite, can have serious health implications.
He cites tinnitus, lockjaw, loss of hearing, inflammatory joint disease and arthritis as some of the problems that can be caused by poor bite, as well as the breakdown of natural teeth.
A related condition, Tempero-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ), can have similar consequences and is a frequent contributor to tinnitus.

I had a dental implant. The month following the tooth being “screwed” onto the implant I suddenly developed tinnitus. This was on October 30, 2006 at 4:00 P.M. Do you think that removing, or “unscrewing” the tooth will remove the tinnitus? That would be a miracle!

It’s worth a try. See your dentist and describe the problem. Allow him to remove the tooth and leave it out for a week or two for your mouth to recover. If the tinnitus abates, the implant is obviously the problem. Your dentist can then re-work the implant to fit into your mouth better.
Sincerely,

Extending my bottom jaw results in my tinnitus becoming twice as loud. Is that a common symptom?

Hi Alan
This sounds like a classic example of TMJ Dysfunction and it is treatable by certain dentists. Please read the article by Dr. Ira Klemmons on the subject in our Tinnitus Library. There is also a link at the bottom of the article to help locate a dentist is your area who works on TMJD.
