Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Effective Relief and Prevention
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a common condition where individuals clench or grind their teeth, often unknowingly. This can lead to a range of issues, including jaw pain, headaches, and worn-down teeth. At Neo-Derm Clinics, we offer tailored treatments to address the symptoms and prevent further damage. Learn more about the condition and its solutions below.
Condition Breakdown
Bruxism can significantly impact your oral health and overall well-being if left untreated. At Neo-Derm Clinics, we provide targeted therapies to alleviate discomfort, protect your teeth, and restore your quality of life. Below are the key aspects of teeth grinding.
Chronic teeth grinding places stress on the jaw muscles, leading to pain and tension in the jaw area.
Grinding can trigger tension headaches or migraines due to overworked jaw muscles.
Grinding can wear down tooth enamel, leading to sensitivity and increased risk of dental problems.
Teeth grinding can contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, causing discomfort and jaw dysfunction.
Neo-Derm Clinics combines advanced treatments with personalised care to address teeth grinding and its related symptoms. With our expertise, you can regain comfort and protect your oral health for the long term.
