Teeth grinding treatment

Using anti-wrinkle injections to reduce involuntary grinding of the teeth and clenching of the jaw

Jaw clenching can often be a sub-conscious action that happens when a person is feeling stressed or anxious, while concentrating or during intense exercise. Mild bruxism may not require treatment, however in some cases, facial pain and stiffness, earache, headache and worn down teeth may occur as a result of jaw clenching.

Some lifestyle choices can be contributing factors of jaw clenching, such as; drinking alcohol, smoking, using recreational drugs and drinking lots of caffeinated drinks.

By injecting small doses of anti-wrinkle injections directly into the large jaw muscle, the muscle is weakened enough to stop involuntary grinding of the teeth and clenching of the jaw. This significantly relaxes the muscle and reduces the wear and tear on the teeth due to grinding and headaches should be reduced.
