Teeth Grinding
It's not clear what causes people to grind their teeth. It can be linked to ADHD, stress, anxiety, sleep problems, smoking, alcohol, antidepressants and other medication.
Teeth grinding can happen while you're awake or asleep and other symptoms can include face, neck and shoulder pain, a painful jaw, worn down teeth, headache and earache.
Medical treatment offered at Dr Baines Skin Health includes botulinum toxin injection to the masseter muscles (the jaw). This brings relief to the temporomandibular joint relaxing the muscle reducing the wear and tear on teeth and easing other symptoms.
Treatment starts to become effective within a couple of weeks and typically lasts between 3 and 6 months.
Treatment Cost: £300.
