Masseter Treatment
Teeth Grinding and Bruxism Treatment in Putney
For anyone who wakes with a locked jaw and a headache they have stopped mentioning.
Most people who grind their teeth have no idea they are doing it. They find out from a dentist noticing worn enamel, from a partner hearing it, or from years of waking with a tight jaw and a dull headache that clears by mid morning.
A night guard protects the teeth, which matters, but it does nothing about the force being generated. Relaxing the masseter reduces that force at the source. The teeth stop taking the impact, the jaw joint gets a rest, and the tension headaches usually ease within a fortnight.
This is one of the treatments clients are most emphatic about, because the change is in how they feel rather than how they look. We are happy to work alongside your dentist, and many of our clients here were referred by theirs.
