Bruxism

Bruxism Treatment (Teeth Grinding)

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.

The Causes Of Bruxism

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.

A Modern Approach

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. Book a consultation with us to discuss your individual case and explore this potentially life-changing treatment.
