How We Treat Bruxism in North York
If you grind your teeth or have jaw pain, we offer oral appliance therapy as a treatment option. We can create a custom nightguard for you to wear while you sleep. It will fit snugly over your teeth and prevent nocturnal grinding.
We also use BOTOX® to relax the muscles around your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This allows them to heal and can help to alleviate your pain and discomfort.
During your evaluation, we’ll discuss your symptoms and do everything we can to help you achieve the best oral health possible.
