Bruxism or teeth grinding is a condition in which individual grinds, gnashes or clenches their teeth unconsciously while awake or when they are sleeping.
Causes of teeth grinding include:
Teeth grinding can have significant effects on us including disrupted sleep, facial pain, earache, headaches, pain and stiffness in the jaw joint and worn down, sensitive or broken teeth.
At Sutton and Epsom Cosmetic Clinic we administer Botox® into the masseter muscles that responsible for enabling chewing and clenching of the jaw. Within days of its administration Botox takes effect by weakening these muscles. In most of cases reinjection is required between six and 12 months.
The procedure is performed by Dr Baba, a highly trained and experienced aesthetic doctor who is also a senior trainer for this procedure at London Aesthetic Academy (www.londonaestheticacademy.co.uk)
