Bruxism, or “teeth grinding”, is a condition that occurs as a result of an individual clenching their teeth, unconsciously, either at night or during the day.
You may not necessarily be aware that you grind your teeth. However, if you find that you experience unexplained pain and discomfort in your head and/or jaw, or excessive wear on your teeth, it may be worth seeing your dentist. Consulting your dentist can prevent the pain from worsening, but also from developing further oral health problems.
Teeth grinding and bruxism symptoms can managed with the administration of BTX to the masseter muscles.
