Bruxism, commonly known as Teeth Grinding, is a condition where an individual involuntarily grinds or clenches their teeth, often during sleep. This can lead to various dental issues, including tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches.
At FACEMED, we specialise in the treatment of bruxism using muscle relaxants and bespoke nightguards made by our Dentists. Our team of experienced professionals in Essex provides effective and personalised treatments to help alleviate the symptoms of bruxism and improve your oral health.
Bruxism can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
High levels of stress or anxiety are common triggers for teeth grinding.
Conditions such as sleep apnea can contribute to bruxism.
Certain medications, particularly antidepressants, can cause bruxism as a side effect.
Excessive consumption of caffeine or alcohol and smoking can increase the risk of teeth grinding.
At FACEMED, we offer a specialised treatment for bruxism using muscle relaxants. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting muscle relaxants into the jaw muscles responsible for grinding. The treatment helps to reduce muscle activity, alleviating the symptoms of bruxism and preventing further dental damage.
We also recommend a nightguard is worn every night to prevent tooth wear from grinding. Our Dentists can make bespoke nightguards.
