FAQs:
How do I know if I am grinding or clenching my teeth in my sleep?
Bruxism, or grinding/clenching, is a surprisingly common condition, and most patients do not realize they are doing it until we ask them to monitor themselves for treatment. Some indications of sleep bruxism are: inability to open your mouth first thing in the morning; tenseness of the jaw muscle; pain when pressing on your temples; clicking/popping of your jaw; sinus pressure immediately on waking; and some people like to record themselves in their sleep to check if they can “hear” themselves grinding!
Is there a cure for grinding and clenching?
Most bruxism is caused by stress, tension, or anxiety, and since we live in the real world, it is unlikely we can remove all sources of stress in our lives. However, botulinum toxin treatment can actually reduce tension in the muscles involved in bruxism, and with regular treatment every 3 months, you will notice a large reduction in your bruxism, and a reduction of head and neck pain.
