Just had my neurologist appointment. She was like sir, you have migraines. You very much have migraines. And I also have bruxism & will need to get physical therapy for that. Got a pile of referrals & prescriptions. I'm glad I'm finally getting closer to figuring this out & hopefully getting better.

okay also i got my migraine prevention botox 5 months late this week and it was so weird being able to move my eyebrows for the first time in years during the months the botox had metabolized. i've missed raising one eyebrow but i hate my migraines more so adios expressions.....
BUT!! my doctor either put less botox on my forehead this time (and more on my jaw for my bad bruxism) or put it higher up because i can still move my eyebrows and it makes me weirdly happy. look at me. making a face
#i've been on botox for a decade and people joke that i'll never have wrinkles but guess what#gravity still works. the man doth have some wrinkles#baby talk

Plîs help me not lose my teeth
I never thought I'd have to make one of these, but I'm genuinely really struggling financially right now and will swallow my pride about asking for help.
As some of you may know, the NHS has been slowly gutted by the Tories, meaning that medical interventions which were formerly free/low cost and readily available are no longer available. As a result I'm having to pay £250 out of pocket for a mouth guard to protect my teeth from tooth grinding. I fell out of the NHS system a while ago when I became estranged, so have to go private.
I suffer from a tight tempomandibular joint (the muscles in my jaw) which causes teeth grinding (bruxism) at night. Stress and anxiety also worsen this. It's gotten to the point where it can hurt to talk or eat and the tooth grinding triggers my migraines due to the pressure caused by my jaw. My gums are also very sensitive and thin due to another medical condition and the grinding is making my teeth loose and gums bleed. I have no other option other than getting a mouth guard fitted - the cheapest option of which is £250.
So I'm creating a $1 Patreon tier for anyone who can spare it to help me cover the cost of my mouth guard. If you do donate, I really, really cannot thank you enough - losing my teeth is one of my biggest fears and I need to prevent that from happening, so thank you again if you can spare anything! If you would prefer, I also have tumblr tips enabled. If you cannot donate, please consider reblogging!
Diolch mawr for reading and thank you so much to everyone who has supported me - now or in the past.

Could Symptoms Syndrome maybe chill the f out for a few days?
So ever since one of the instructors at the gym where I take aerial acrobatics classes clued me in to the fact that I'm probably hypermobile, I've been on yet another wild domino-effect ride that I like to call "What do you MEAN that's another symptom of hypermobility?!"
That hurty thing my fingers keep doing is probably subluxation and I might need to get joint braces
Opioids not working on me is part of it
The IBS is part of it
Poor proprioception/being clumsy is part of it
My shoulder is Not Supposed To Be Doing That
Me sometimes needing to punch doors open (because opening them the regular way hurts my wrist) is part of it
My fingertips pointing upwards when I extend my fingers isn't normal and it's called the Flying Bird Sign
The migraines are part of it
The random bouts of dizziness and sometimes blacking out when I stand up is part of it
Bruising all the damn time literally everywhere is part of it
The super heavy giant periods I used to get were part of it
It's comorbid with autism, auditory processing disorders, sensory processing disorders, apraxia, mood disorders including anxiety and depression, asthma, tinnitus, hair loss in all genders, chronically low vitamin D, teeth crowding, bruxism, fucking uticaria, chronic fatigue, and ADHD, aka every single medical problem I have ever had in my entire life except for maybe seasonal allergies.
Oh, and I probably have hEDS, too.
#the last time I had a Symptoms Syndrome domino-effect realization like this was when I got the ADHD diagnosis#I don't even know what to do with this information. Like do I try to get a diagnosis? There isn't any real treatment.#Also one of my sisters almost definitely also has it. Should probably tell her that.#personal stuff#hypermobility#ehlers danlos syndrome#hEDS#also hey for anyone reading this you can have hypermobility without being very flexible as an adult#just putting that out there

That entire studio fallout situation brought back several of my stress reactions and I really don't want them to stay.
Bruxism, migraines, stomach pain, tmj from the bruxism. Dude...yeah...
I wanted to leave this at "good luck, goodbye" but..more stuff is coming out. and it's all ugly. And I don't want to be quiet anymore.
I'm hurt, I'm angry with how my friend was treated, I'm ashamed that I didn't do anything sooner. And now they're trying to bully other people into following their orders. Dude...I was healing from this. We all were. Then you harassed me and guilt tripped me. I...man.

how have you been today (i woke up but it didn't go away)
by luisasfalsegod The order of priority is as follows: his husband, his family, his friends, his clients, his colleagues, strangers on the street and then Alex. He puts in the work, is ever the high achiever and follows every trick and coping mechanism his therapist suggests. He fills out the exercises flawlessly and in a detailed way and he does an amazing job of reflecting on his behavior and actions, whenever he goes to see him. He knows what needs to be done it’s just that…well. It’s that healing isn’t linear and recovery is a process and so, unfortunately, Alex finds himself falling back into old patterns.

Note for the ADHD/Autism folk out there - if you find yourself with bruxism / tongue chewing either as a medication side effect or as a stim, I strongly recommend that you seek methods of combatting it *now*.
Aside from the fact that it can cause migraines, I've finally ended up badly biting the underside of my tongue and it is unreasonably painful, and isn't healing well because it's a) in easy contact with my teeth and b) I habitually clench my jaw and chew my tongue.
I know this doesn't present any solutions (though you can now get custom anti-bruxism splints from dentists, so that's a possibility), but if nothing else I hope it prompts someone to make that appointment they've been putting off, because this fucken sucks - don't be like me.

How TMJ TMD Doctors Help Relieve Chronic Jaw Pain and Headaches?
Do you often wake up with a sore jaw or pounding headache that just won’t go away? You’re not alone. Chronic jaw pain and tension headaches are common symptoms of TMJ disorder, a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull.
As a condition that’s often misdiagnosed or ignored, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can seriously affect your quality of life if left untreated. Fortunately, consulting a TMJ doctor in India early can make a big difference. Let’s explore how TMJ TMD doctors help relieve chronic jaw pain and headaches—and why seeking care from a TMJ specialist in India might be your best next step.
What Is TMJ/TMD and Why Does It Cause Pain?
The temporomandibular joint is responsible for the smooth opening, closing, and side movement of your jaw. It’s used hundreds of times a day when we talk, chew, yawn, or express emotions. When this joint or the surrounding muscles are irritated or damaged, it can result in a variety of symptoms including:
Jaw stiffness or tightness
Clicking or popping when opening your mouth
Pain near the ears or temples
Frequent tension or migraine-like headaches
Neck, shoulder, or facial pain
Difficulty chewing or speaking
This dysfunction is known as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) and can be caused by factors such as teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw misalignment, trauma, arthritis, or even chronic stress.
Why Chronic Jaw Pain and Headaches Are Linked?
Many people don't realize how closely connected the jaw joint is to other parts of the body—especially the head, face, and neck. When the TMJ is not functioning correctly, it places strain on nearby muscles and nerves. Over time, this can lead to:
Muscle tension in the jaw and temples, causing tension headaches
Referred pain that radiates to the head, ears, or eyes
Trigger points that result in migraines or facial pain
Since these symptoms often overlap with other conditions like migraines or sinus issues, TMD is sometimes overlooked. That’s why visiting a qualified TMJ doctor in India is essential—they can correctly diagnose the root cause of your symptoms and guide you toward the right treatment.
How TMJ TMD Doctors Help Relieve Chronic Pain?
A TMJ specialist in India is trained to evaluate, diagnose, and treat disorders related to the jaw joint and surrounding structures. Here’s how they help relieve pain and restore function:
1. Accurate Diagnosis
Many people suffer from TMD without even knowing it. A TMJ doctor in India performs a detailed evaluation that includes:
Medical and dental history review
Physical examination of the jaw, bite, and muscles
Imaging tests (like X-rays or MRIs) if needed
Identifying related issues like teeth grinding or posture problems
Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and pain management.
2. Custom Treatment Plans
Every patient’s condition is different. TMJ TMD doctors develop personalized treatment plans that may include:
Nightguards or splints to reduce jaw tension and prevent teeth grinding
Jaw exercises and physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve movement
Bite correction or orthodontic work if jaw alignment is the cause
Stress management techniques such as breathing exercises and posture training
Medications to reduce inflammation or relieve muscle spasms
These non-invasive methods often provide significant relief, especially when started early.
3. Pain Management and Long-Term Relief
The ultimate goal of TMJ treatment is to relieve pain and restore natural jaw movement. With the right approach, patients often notice:
Reduced jaw and facial pain
Fewer and less intense headaches
Improved sleep quality
Better focus and overall well-being
By identifying the root cause of your symptoms, a TMJ specialist in India can help you avoid long-term complications such as joint damage, arthritis, or chronic migraines.
4. Avoiding Surgery
While rare, untreated TMJ disorders can lead to joint deterioration that requires surgical intervention. With early intervention from a TMJ doctor in India, most patients can recover through non-surgical options—saving time, money, and avoiding unnecessary procedures.
When Should You See a TMJ TMD Doctor?
If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms frequently, it's time to seek help:
Jaw pain or tightness that lasts more than a few days
Recurring headaches or migraines without a clear cause
Difficulty opening or closing your mouth
Clicking or locking of the jaw
Pain while chewing or talking
A consultation with a TMJ doctor in India can help you understand the underlying issue and find effective, non-invasive solutions.
Final Thoughts
Chronic jaw pain and headaches can severely impact your day-to-day life. The good news is—you don’t have to live with the discomfort. With the right care from a TMJ specialist in India, you can relieve pain, restore normal jaw function, and regain control over your health.If you’ve been searching for answers or just want to feel like yourself again, don’t delay. Early treatment from a qualified TMJ doctor in India can make all the difference.

What Are Botox Services? Everything You Need to Know Before Booking

Botox is no longer just a cosmetic treatment associated with Hollywood red carpets. Today, it’s a widely accepted and medically backed procedure with both aesthetic and therapeutic applications. If you’ve heard the term but aren’t quite sure what it involves—or if you’re wondering why a dental clinic like Olive Branch Dental Care offers it—this guide will cover everything you need to know before booking your first appointment.
What Is Botox?
Botox is short for botulinum toxin, a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When administered in small, controlled doses by a trained professional, Botox temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. This effect is most commonly used to smooth facial wrinkles, but it also serves various medical purposes such as treating muscle spasms, excessive sweating, and even chronic migraines.
Why Dental Clinics Offer Botox
You might be surprised to learn that dentists are among the most qualified professionals to administer Botox. Why? Because dentists have in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy, including muscles, nerves, and bone structure—especially around the mouth, jaw, and forehead. At Olive Branch Dental Care Clinic, our team is certified and trained to use Botox for both cosmetic and therapeutic treatments.
Offering Botox services in a dental setting allows patients to combine aesthetic and oral health goals. For example, Botox can help with conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ disorders, which are commonly treated by dentists. Combining treatments in one location provides convenience and comprehensive care.
Cosmetic Botox: Enhancing Natural Beauty
Cosmetic Botox is primarily used to soften facial lines and wrinkles, particularly in areas such as:
Forehead lines
Frown lines (glabellar lines)
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Smile lines and smoker’s lines (around the mouth)
Bunny lines (on the nose)
The treatment involves injecting Botox into the underlying muscles to temporarily reduce their activity. This allows the skin to smooth out, giving a more youthful and relaxed appearance. Results typically begin to appear within 3 to 7 days, with full effects visible in about two weeks. The effects last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual.
Therapeutic Botox: More Than Just Skin Deep
At Olive Branch Dental Care Clinic, we also use Botox for therapeutic purposes, which can be life-changing for patients experiencing:
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders: Botox helps relieve jaw tension and discomfort by relaxing the overactive muscles responsible for clenching.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Involuntary grinding of teeth—especially at night—can cause headaches, jaw pain, and dental damage. Botox weakens the muscles involved, reducing the severity of grinding.
Chronic Migraines: In some cases, Botox can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines by targeting specific muscle groups in the face, neck, and head.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
The process is straightforward and usually takes less than 30 minutes. Here’s what you can expect at Olive Branch Dental Care:
Consultation: We begin with a thorough assessment of your facial structure and concerns. We’ll discuss your goals and determine if Botox is the right solution for you.
Treatment Plan: Based on your needs, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and discuss the areas to be treated.
Injection: Using fine needles, small amounts of Botox are injected into specific facial muscles. The discomfort is minimal, often compared to a small pinch.
Post-Treatment Care: You can resume normal activities right away. We’ll provide guidelines such as avoiding strenuous exercise or rubbing the treated area for the first 24 hours.
Is Botox Safe?
Yes—when administered by trained professionals like those at Olive Branch Dental Care Clinic, Botox is safe and FDA-approved for both cosmetic and medical use. Side effects are generally mild and may include slight bruising or swelling at the injection site, which resolves quickly.
Who Should Avoid Botox?
While Botox is safe for most people, it’s not suitable for:
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Individuals with certain neurological disorders
Those allergic to any ingredients in Botox
We’ll thoroughly review your medical history during your consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
Book Your Botox Consultation Today
Botox is a versatile and effective treatment that can enhance your appearance and improve your quality of life. Whether you're seeking to smooth fine lines or address jaw tension and migraines, the expert team at Olive Branch Dental Care Clinic is here to help.Ready to take the next step?

If you’re searching for professional TMJ treatment in Adelaide, Wakefield Sports Clinic offers targeted therapy to help reduce pain and restore jaw movement naturally and effectively.

🦷 What Is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorder refers to problems with the temporomandibular joint — the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull. This joint allows you to speak, eat, and open or close your mouth. When it becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can lead to:
Clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth
Jaw stiffness or locking
Pain in the jaw, face, neck, or ears
Headaches or migraines
Difficulty chewing or biting
Facial asymmetry or swelling
These symptoms can severely impact daily activities and quality of life, which is why early and effective TMJ treatment in Adelaide is so important.
💡 Causes of TMJ Disorders
TMJ issues can arise from a variety of causes, including:
Poor posture, especially of the neck and head
Teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching
Stress-related muscle tension
Trauma or impact to the jaw
Arthritis in the jaw joint
Misaligned bite or dental issues
Overuse of jaw muscles from excessive gum chewing or talking
Identifying the root cause is key to choosing the most effective TMJ treatment Adelaide options for long-term relief.
👩⚕️ TMJ Treatment Adelaide – What to Expect at Wakefield Sports Clinic
At Wakefield Sports Clinic, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to TMJ treatment in Adelaide, integrating physiotherapy, postural correction, massage therapy, and patient education.
Here's what you can expect from our TMJ treatment:
1. Comprehensive Assessment
Your TMJ journey begins with a detailed assessment by a qualified physiotherapist. This includes examining jaw movement, muscle tightness, postural alignment, and identifying pain triggers. We also consider your medical and dental history to create a full picture of your condition.
2. Hands-On Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is one of the most effective non-invasive TMJ treatments. Our skilled therapists use manual therapy techniques to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, and correct misalignments. This includes:
Soft tissue massage
Joint mobilisations
Myofascial release
Trigger point therapy
Guided jaw exercises
These techniques not only relieve pain but also restore normal movement and function to the jaw.
3. Postural Training
Many people with TMJ dysfunction also suffer from poor posture, especially forward head and neck positions. Our TMJ treatment Adelaide program includes postural retraining exercises to improve head-neck alignment, reduce muscle strain, and support long-term relief.
4. Home Exercise Plans
You’ll receive a personalised home exercise plan designed to maintain jaw flexibility, reduce tension, and promote healing. Consistency with these exercises can drastically reduce your dependency on pain medication or invasive treatments.
5. Referral to Allied Specialists
If necessary, we work in collaboration with dentists, GPs, or ENT specialists to ensure a holistic approach to your TMJ management. For example, if teeth grinding is a major cause, a dental splint or mouthguard may be recommended.

Best Botox Treatment in Santacruz
In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a youthful appearance is not just a matter of vanity; it’s a growing part of self-care and confidence. With increasing awareness and advancements in aesthetic medicine, Botox treatment in Santacruz has become a highly sought-after solution for those looking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of ageing. At Dermexperia, we specialise in personalised aesthetic treatments that offer safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
What is Botox?
Botox, derived from Botulinum toxin type A, is a purified protein used in small doses to temporarily relax facial muscles. By preventing these muscles from contracting, Botox helps in softening the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are lines that form due to repetitive facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting.
This non-surgical procedure is FDA-approved and is commonly used to target areas such as:
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
Chin dimpling
Neck bands
In expert hands, Botox can also be used for medical conditions like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), migraines, and jaw clenching (bruxism).
Why Choose Botox Treatment in Santacruz?
Santacruz, located in the heart of Mumbai, has emerged as a leading hub for advanced dermatological and aesthetic treatments. The convenience of accessibility combined with the presence of reputed clinics like Dermexperia makes it a preferred destination for Botox treatment. Choosing Botox treatment in Santacruz ensures you receive world-class care, personalised consultations, and safe procedures backed by certified professionals.
At Dermexperia, we pride ourselves on using the highest quality Botox formulations, maintaining stringent hygiene protocols, and offering customised treatment plans to suit your skin type, age, and cosmetic goals.
Benefits of Botox Treatment
Non-Invasive and Quick Botox is a lunchtime procedure that typically takes 15–30 minutes. There is no need for anaesthesia, cuts, or downtime, making it ideal for busy professionals and homemakers.
Visible Results in Days While full effects may take up to 7 days, most patients start seeing improvement in as little as 3 days post-procedure.
Natural-Looking Results At Dermexperia, we aim for subtle enhancements, ensuring your expressions remain natural and the results never look “frozen” or overdone.
Prevention of Deep Wrinkles Early use of Botox can help prevent deeper lines from forming, making it an effective preventive tool for individuals in their late 20s and 30s.
Confidence Boost Rejuvenated skin and a fresher appearance can lead to a significant boost in self-esteem and body image.
The Dermexperia Approach to Botox
When you walk into Dermexperia for Botox treatment in Santacruz, you can expect a thorough and professional approach. Our process includes:
Detailed Consultation: Understanding your skin concerns, medical history, and cosmetic goals.
Facial Mapping: Analysing facial muscle structure to determine injection sites and dosage.
Precision Technique: Administering Botox through ultra-fine needles with minimal discomfort.
Post-Treatment Guidance: Providing aftercare tips to ensure optimal results and longevity.
Our team is led by experienced dermatologists and aesthetic doctors who are certified and highly trained in facial aesthetics. We believe in transparency and educate our clients on realistic expectations, side effects, and long-term maintenance.
Aftercare and Maintenance
After the treatment, you can return to your daily activities almost immediately. However, we recommend:
Avoiding lying down or exercising for 4–6 hours post-treatment
Refraining from rubbing or massaging the treated area
Staying away from direct heat exposure (sauna/steam) for 24–48 hours
Botox results typically last for 3–6 months, depending on your muscle activity and metabolism. Regular follow-up sessions can help maintain the youthful effect and prevent the return of dynamic wrinkles.
Who is the Ideal Candidate?
Botox treatment is suitable for both men and women who:
Wish to reduce wrinkles without surgery
Are between 25 to 65 years of age
Are in good general health
Do not have any neuromuscular disorders
Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
At Dermexperia, we customise every treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness, even for first-time users.
Common Myths Around Botox
Myth 1: Botox is only for older people. Truth: Preventive Botox is gaining popularity among individuals in their 20s and 30s to delay signs of ageing.
Myth 2: Botox will make you look expressionless. Truth: When done correctly, Botox softens lines without freezing your natural expressions.
Myth 3: It’s unsafe or addictive. Truth: Botox has been used safely for over 20 years. It is non-addictive and only temporarily affects muscles.

Solutions to Stop Grinding Teeth in Sleep

If you wake up with a sore jaw, headaches, or sensitive teeth, you might be unknowingly grinding your teeth at night. Also known as bruxism, this condition affects millions of people and often goes undiagnosed for years. Left untreated, it can lead to severe dental issues, disrupted sleep, and chronic discomfort. Fortunately, there are proven strategies to help you stop grinding teeth in sleepand restore your oral health.
In this blog, we’ll explore the causes, symptoms, and most importantly, practical solutions to help you reclaim restful nights and a pain-free morning.
What Is Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)?
Bruxism is a condition where you clench or grind your teeth, typically during sleep. This unconscious behaviour can exert excessive force on your teeth and jaw muscles, leading to a range of health problems.
While some people grind their teeth during the day (awake bruxism), the majority experience it at night, making it more difficult to detect and treat.
Why You Should Stop Grinding Teeth in Sleep
Failing to stop grinding teeth in sleep can lead to:
Tooth enamel erosion and fractures
Gum recession
Jaw pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
Frequent headaches or migraines
Poor quality sleep
Increased stress and fatigue
Recognising the problem early and seeking treatment can save you from more extensive (and expensive) dental procedures in the future.
Common Causes of Nighttime Teeth Grinding
Understanding the root causes of bruxism can help identify the best solution. Common triggers include:
Stress and Anxiety: Emotional tension is a primary cause of nighttime teeth grinding.
Sleep Disorders: Conditions like sleep apnea are strongly linked to bruxism.
Malocclusion (Misaligned Teeth): Bite issues can cause the jaw to shift and grind during rest.
Lifestyle Habits: Excessive caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco use can increase bruxism risk.
Medications: Some antidepressants and stimulants can trigger teeth grinding as a side effect.
How to Stop Grinding Teeth in Sleep: Proven Methods?
If you’re ready to stop grinding teeth in sleep, here are effective approaches to consider:
1. Wear a Night Guard
One of the most common and effective solutions is a custom-fitted night guard. This dental appliance creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage caused by grinding.
A dentist can create a guard tailored to your bite, ensuring both comfort and durability.
2. Manage Stress and Anxiety
Since stress is a leading cause of bruxism, relaxation techniques can be very helpful. Try incorporating the following into your routine:
Deep breathing exercises or meditation before bed
Gentle yoga or stretching
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
Journaling or talking with a therapist
Reducing your stress levels can go a long way in helping you stop grinding teeth in sleep.
3. Improve Your Sleep Hygiene
Better sleep habits can reduce the likelihood of teeth grinding. Consider:
Establishing a consistent sleep schedule
Avoiding screens and stimulants before bedtime
Creating a calm, dark, and cool sleep environment
Limiting alcohol and caffeine intake, especially in the evening
Good sleep hygiene not only supports overall wellness but also directly impacts bruxism frequency.
4. Treat Underlying Medical Conditions
If your teeth grinding is linked to conditions like sleep apnea or acid reflux, addressing these issues can help. Speak to your doctor or dentist about further testing or referral to a sleep specialist.
Treating the root cause is essential if you want to stop grinding teeth in sleep long term.
5. Dental Corrections
If bite alignment or missing teeth are contributing factors, your dentist may recommend:
Orthodontic treatment (like braces or Invisalign)
Dental restorations (crowns or implants)
Adjusting high spots on existing fillings or crowns
Correcting the mechanics of your bite may reduce or eliminate nighttime grinding.
When to See a Dentist
If you suspect you grind your teeth at night—especially if you’re experiencing jaw pain, worn teeth, or morning headaches—it’s time to consult a dental professional. Early diagnosis and intervention can prevent permanent damage.
Your dentist can:
Confirm if you’re grinding
Identify potential causes
Create a treatment plan that may include a night guard or further evaluation
Final Thoughts
Teeth grinding may seem like a minor issue, but over time, it can have major consequences for your oral and overall health. The good news is, there are multiple strategies that can help you stop grinding teeth in sleep, from night guards and stress management to treating underlying conditions.
Don’t wait until the damage is done. Talk to your dentist today and start sleeping more peacefully—and waking up pain-free.
