Are you struggling with tooth sensitivity or tooth wear? You could have bruxism, also called teeth grinding. In some cases, masseter botox is the best treatment by reducing the muscle tension that contributes to grinding. Book a consultation with our dentists in Leeds today – we’ll get to the root of your bruxism and find a botox treatment plan that works for you.
What causes bruxism?
Bruxism is usually caused by stress, anxiety, or sleep disorders. It leads to unconscious teeth grinding, especially at night. It can also result from an abnormal bite or misaligned teeth that put extra stress on certain teeth.
Preventing and treating bruxism
Dental treatments might include using custom-fitted mouthguards at night or corrective dental procedures to align your teeth properly. If you’re struggling with intense clenching, our muscle-relaxing injections in Leeds may provide relief by easing tension in the jaw. It’s also important to address any potential underlying issues, like stress or sleep disorders, to prevent your bruxism from returning.
Our Leeds dentists will take the time to fully understand the cause of your teeth grinding, assessing your overall oral health to provide a custom treatment plan. Reach out today to book a consultation with our team and protect your teeth for the long term.
Masseter botox for bruxism
Masseter Botox – a muscle relaxing injection treatment – is a popular way to help with your bruxism. When you come to our Leeds office, our expert dentists will inject Botox into your jaw to reduce the movement of your facial muscles, lowering the amount of clenching and grinding you do, even when you sleep. You may need a top-up every four months to make sure the masseter botox continues to work, but your dentist will set up a tailored treatment plan that works just for you.
