Bruxism, or teeth grinding, affects roughly one in four adults and can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms. These include jaw pain, headaches, gum issues, eroded tooth enamel, damaged fillings, and even loose teeth. The force exerted when grinding your teeth can be up to 20 times greater than the pressure used for normal chewing or biting, leading to significant discomfort and long-term dental issues.
While the exact causes of bruxism are not fully understood, it is often linked to stress and anxiety, which can cause tension in the jaw. Certain medications, such as some antidepressants, can also act as a trigger. In the past, treatment options were limited, often involving mouthguards, stress management techniques, or simply enduring the discomfort.
The good news is that anti-wrinkle injections now offer an effective solution for bruxism. This treatment targets and relaxes the overactive jaw muscles, significantly reducing grinding and clenching. Many patients experience a dramatic improvement, with symptoms easing or even disappearing entirely. If teeth grinding is affecting your life, anti-wrinkle injections could be the answer.

Our reputation is built around providing a fantastic experience for our patients – here’s what some of them have been saying about us…
I visited Dr Fiona recently for some general skincare advice and a series of chemical peels. Fiona fully explained the benefits of the treatment and the important aftercare advice. We had a in-depth discussion about my current skincare regime and Fiona was able to suggest a couple of products that might help my main issues which was redness. I have been totally delighted with the Obagi products and the results. This is the longest I’ve managed to stick to a skincare routine. I would highly recommend Fiona.
Having had various treatments by Dr Fiona (from anti wrinkle injections, lip enhancement and a wide range of Obagi skincare products) I won’t ever need to go anywhere else! Great at carrying out each and every one of her techniques, Fiona is very knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions you may have and lastly a lovely manor to go along with it.
I can’t recommend Fiona highly enough! She is a miracle worker! 🙂 Fiona immediately put me at ease. She is super knowledgeable, has a lovely calm manner and really listened when I said I wanted to look natural. She also recommended ZO skin health products which I have been using ever since and my skin has never looked better. I use the anti-ageing programme and the smart tone broad spectrum SPF 50. If you’re looking for anti-ageing advice you should definitely try Fiona! You won’t go anywhere else!
