Ease the Clench

Bruxism / Teeth Grinding

  • Introduction

    At DrVKent Aesthetics, we offer a specialised, doctor-led injectable treatment designed to help reduce the symptoms of bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding. This treatment targets overactive jaw muscles and may help alleviate associated jaw tension, headaches, and facial discomfort, improving overall comfort and supporting long-term dental health.

    Treatment is only provided following a comprehensive medical consultation to ensure suitability and safety.

  • What is Bruxism?

    Bruxism is the medical term for grinding, gnashing, or clenching your teeth, often unconsciously while you sleep. This condition can lead to excessive wear on teeth, jaw discomfort, and even chronic pain.

  • How does the treatment help?

    This treatment works by targeting overactive jaw muscles that contribute to teeth grinding and clenching. By temporarily reducing excessive muscle activity, it helps relax the muscles responsible for involuntary contractions. This can ease muscle tension, reduce spasms, and relieve associated symptoms such as jaw pain, facial discomfort, and tension-related headaches.

    By addressing the muscular component of bruxism, the treatment may also help reduce the frequency and intensity of grinding, supporting improved comfort and protection of dental health. Treatment is provided following a medical consultation to ensure suitability.

  • Benefits of Treatment for Bruxism Include:

    Reduced Jaw Tension: Decreases the intensity of the muscle contractions involved in teeth grinding.

    Pain Relief: Alleviates pain and discomfort in the jaw, neck, and head.

    Prevention of Tooth Damage: Helps protect against wear and tear on your teeth.

    Improved Sleep Quality: Reduces the occurrence of grinding during sleep, leading to better rest.

  • Is this treatment right for you?

    This treatment may be suitable for individuals who experience frequent jaw tension, facial pain, headaches, or other symptoms associated with teeth grinding or clenching. It can be particularly helpful for those who have not achieved sufficient relief with conventional dental approaches, such as night guards or behavioural strategies.

    Suitability is assessed on an individual basis during a medical consultation, where symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals are carefully reviewed.
