Bruxism (Jaw Clenching and Teeth Grinding)

Jaw clenching and teeth grinding can cause pain and muscle enlargement. Dermaporium offers assessment for suitable patients considering botulinum toxin.

Bruxism is repeated clenching or grinding of the teeth, often during sleep or periods of stress. It can contribute to jaw pain, tension headaches, facial muscle tenderness, tooth wear and enlargement of the masseter muscles. Because dental and jaw-joint problems can cause similar symptoms, a proper assessment is essential.
