Teeth Clenching and Grinding

If you unintentionally clench or grind your teeth when you’re awake or sleeping, you may have a condition known as bruxism.

This subconscious habit can lead to jaw disorders, headaches, earaches, damaged teeth and difficulty eating.

We recommend a holistic approach to the management of bruxism whereby your jaws and teeth are carefully assessed by a dentist. Simple dental intervention or a prescriptive splint can be valuable in combination with muscle relaxant treatment.

If you suffer from teeth clenching or bruxism, muscle relaxing injections can help to relax your jaw, reduce headaches, and protect your teeth from further damage. Contact us to learn more about this effective treatment option.

What causes teeth clenching and grinding?

Stress and anxiety are the most common reasons you may clench or grind your teeth, while sleep problems and certain medications can also lead to bruxism.

Smoking, taking drugs and drinking too much alcohol can all worsen teeth grinding, so these should be avoided as a first line of treatment.
