Whether you are grinding your teeth due to stress & anxiety, a nervous disorder, an irregular bite, or too much caffeine, shielding your teeth from the effects of grinding is vital to your wellbeing.

Teeth Grinding Treatment at Mouth
Battersea dental care at Mouth always begins with high-accuracy diagnoses. We conduct a thorough oral examination and health assessment to identify the underlying causes of bruxism. Different individuals have different reasons for teeth grinding. Personalised treatment can range from stress management to muscle relaxants. When teeth grinding is linked to a misaligned bite, we utilise the latest orthodontics to correct it. With an in-house orthodontist available at our Battersea dental clinic, we provide multiple solutions for malocclusions causing improper bites.
Our custom-crafted clear mouthguards prevent direct contact between teeth. They offer enhanced comfort and a low profile. We also use restorative procedures that rebuild worn-out teeth. Options like dental bonding, veneers, crowns, and teeth contouring restore both the function and aesthetics of teeth affected by bruxism. In cases of pulp infection due to severe grinding, you can receive endodontic care from our resident endodontist.
Our trained clinicians are certified for Botox administering, a proven solution that addresses bruxism and its associated pain, such as TMJ disorders. Injected into the masseter muscle, frontalis and temporalis muscles, it prevents involuntary teeth grinding and jaw clenching while easing related tension and discomfort in the jaw and head.

Frequently asked questions
What is Bruxism?
Bruxism is a condition characterised by the involuntary grinding, clenching, or gnashing of teeth, often occurring during sleep or unconsciously throughout the day. It can lead to dental issues, facial pain, and discomfort. Bruxism can range from occasional and mild to chronic and severe.
What causes Bruxism/Teeth grinding?
Bruxism can result from stress, anxiety, an irregular bite (malocclusion), sleep disorders like sleep apnea, lifestyle choices such as excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption, and even certain medications.
Is it possible to correct teeth grinding?
Yes, teeth grinding can effectively be managed and treated. Identifying the underlying cause is key, and various treatments such as mouthguards, stress management techniques, dental corrections, and lifestyle adjustments can help alleviate the issue.
What happens if teeth grinding is not treated?
If left untreated, teeth grinding can lead to enamel wear, tooth sensitivity, fractures, damage to dental restorations, jaw pain (TMJ disorders), and other oral health complications. Severe tooth damage can expose the dental pulp, leading to infection. Untreated bruxism exacerbates headaches and migraine, causing stress and blood pressure levels to rise, causing risk of heart disease.
How can you tell if you have Bruxism?
Signs of bruxism include worn-down teeth, increased tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches, facial muscle soreness, and chipped teeth. A dental professional can diagnose bruxism through examination and discussion of symptoms.
What are the treatment options available for teeth grinding?
Treatment options include custom mouthguards or splints, muscle relaxants, orthodontic corrections, stress management, medication, behaviour modification therapies, and addressing underlying causes like sleep disorders. The most effective muscle relaxant for teeth grinding is Botox.
Can braces or other dental devices help with teeth grinding?
Yes, orthodontic treatments like braces can correct malocclusions that cause teeth grinding. Dental devices like mouthguards can protect teeth from grinding during sleep.
What are the lifestyle changes that you need to make to manage teeth grinding?
Lifestyle changes may involve reducing stress through relaxation techniques, limiting caffeine and alcohol intake, avoiding chewing on non-food items, and maintaining a consistent sleep routine.
How long does it take to treat teeth grinding?
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of teeth grinding and the chosen treatment approach. Orthodontic treatments can take anywhere between 6 months to 24 months. Teeth contouring, dental bonding, and fillings may only take minutes. Fitting crowns may take one or two in-chair sessions. Administering Botox also takes just a few minutes. Talk to your dentist to learn more about your treatment options.
