Do you often feel tension in your temples or suffer from headaches? Have you noticed your teeth are looking worn down or chipped? Does your jaw click, lock, or feel painful when you chew or bite?

Teeth Grinding/Bruxism Symptoms

Bruxism affects up to 80% of people at some point in their lives. It can have a wide range of causes, but symptoms often worsen during stressful periods and often at night, causing sleep problems. In severe cases, this pressure can lead to further tooth wear, cracks, and teeth becoming loose.

However, many symptoms are not thought of as ‘dental’, so often the condition can be left undiagnosed. A few of these can include:

  • Back, neck and shoulder pain
  • Headaches
  • Migraines
  • Jaw pain or facial pain
  • Earache
  • Tinnitus
  • Poor sleep
  • Lock jaw
  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (sometimes called TMJD).

Step 1: Consultation

Book yourself in for a consultation with our expert skincare practitioner. This initial appointment is a chance to discuss the best treatment plan for you, according to the improvements you’d like to make. Treatment can be provided immediately after the consultation or booked for a later date.

Step 2: Treatment

On the day of your appointment, you’ll be made comfortable and anaesthetic will be applied to the injection area. The anti-wrinkle injection will be expertly administered in the targeted areas you will have discussed previously with your practitioner. Following treatment, aftercare advice will be provided.

Step 3: Enjoy

It’s time to enjoy your new look. When it’s time for a top-up appointment, the practice will contact you.

Crescent Lodge Dental Practice Clapham

“I had no idea that grinding one’s teeth causes headaches, neck aches and even shoulder problems, all of which I had been experiencing for years and had put down to a very stressful job. Within a week of having the bite splint fitted, all my head and neck pains vanished and haven’t returned. Even my computer-stressed shoulder pains have eased. I have been sleeping much better and wouldn’t go without the bite splint now.”

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s entirely possible. The muscles of your temporomandibular joint run along your jaw and cheeks. Grinding your teeth can lead these muscles to tense up, and the pain can spread to neighbouring muscles, and even the top of your head.

Several factors can lead to a misaligned jaw, such as trauma from an accident, arthritis, genetics, or a birth defect.

Yes. While more serious cases might require surgery, less severe misalignments can be solved through dental treatment. This is something we will discuss with you at your free consultation in Clapham Common.
