Jaw clenching and teeth grinding (known as Bruxism) is a common condition affecting around 10% of the population. Teeth grinding or jaw clenching can happen throughout the day or during the night whilst asleep. Our team of highly experienced experts will be able to provide advice and guidance, and safely perform treatment to help you live more comfortably with Bruxism.
Most people will probably find that they grind their teeth and clench their jaw quite often, occasionally doing this should not cause any harm. However, when teeth grinding and jaw clenching occur on a regular basis (Bruxism) this can cause damage to teeth.
The cause of Bruxism is mostly attributed to stress and anxiety. Many people experience symptoms of a dull, constant headache or a sore jaw, this can occur throughout the day or you may wake up with symptoms if grinding happens in your sleep.
If you suffer from Bruxism and would like to find an effective treatment to manage your symptoms, we are here to help. Our recommended treatment is muscle relaxing injections.
Lifestyle changes can sometimes help with Bruxism, as well as seeing your dentist to try methods such as mouth guards. However, if you are looking for a low maintenance and effective treatment, we can help!

Our recommended treatment for Bruxism is muscle relaxing injections. This works by injecting a small dose of a toxin into the jaw, relaxing the muscle and in turn reducing the ability to to clench or grind. This treatment can take up to around 1-2 weeks to kick in and can last between 3-6 months.
