🦷 DENTAL WORD OF THE DAY: BRUXISM 🦷
Ever wake up with a sore jaw, headache, or tight facial muscles? You may be dealing with bruxism—the medical term for grinding or clenching your teeth.
💥 Quick Facts About Bruxism:
• 😬 What it is: Habitual grinding of the teeth or clenching of the jaw
• 🌙 When it happens: During the day or while you sleep
• 🤕 Common signs: Jaw soreness, dull headaches, facial tension, and worn-down tooth enamel
• 🦷 Treatment: A custom night guard can help protect your teeth—but that’s not the only option!
💉 DID YOU KNOW BOTOX® INJECTIONS MAY HELP?
Botox injections can be used in the jaw muscles to reduce excessive muscle activity associated with clenching and grinding, helping relieve jaw tension and discomfort for some patients.
✨ Less clenching. Less tension. More comfort.
