In this brief monologue, the speaker argues that while migraines are primarily neurological, they can be exacerbated by hidden sources of chronic inflammation, specifically in the jawbone. A painless, ongoing infection or inflammatory condition in the jaw can stimulate the trigeminal nerve, leading to trigeminal neuralgia—a major contributor to migraine attacks. The speaker emphasizes that many migraine‑related issues involve the cranial nerves, and points out that dentists, who work closely with the cranial nerve system, are uniquely positioned to identify and address these oral‑health‑related migraine triggers.

Migraines is mostly a neurological issue, but there's always a component of toxicity. Can be chronic infections, can be immune triggers like cytokines. So imagine you have everything in check, you already do whatever you say, still migraines. So maybe you have an ongoing chronic inflammation in your jawbone that doesn't hurt. It's chronic and it triggers your nervous system, the trigeminal nerve, to produce a trigeminal neuralgia, which is a huge migraine issue. So most of the time, anything related to migraines is connected to some sort of cranial nerve. And what is the profession that works mostly at the cranial nerve? That's the dentist.
