Bruxism & TMJ Related Issues

Treatment for Bruxism (persistent tooth grinding) and other TMD related issues

TMJ related issues such as bruxism (tooth grinding) are becoming an ever increasing issue in the UK. Temporomandibular joint disorder/dysfunction (TMD/TMJD) is a problem affecting the ‘chewing’ muscles and the joints between the lower jaw and the base of the skull.

TMJD and bruxism issues can be extremely painful, debilitating and often affect the quality of your life. Patients with related issues often complain that it affects their ability to properly eat, sleep, talk, and live their general day-to-day lives.

Dr Khanna has been working on treatment for TMJD and bruxism for many years and is now a leading global advocate for this treatment, teaching this treatment to doctors all over the world. If you are suffering with extreme pain in the jaw, neck, back or shoulders, this treatment could be perfect for you.

What does the treatment involve?

During your consultation, we will look at not only your teeth and how you bite, but also the muscles around the jaw, neck and shoulders. Depending on your specific circumstances, we have a variety of treatment options on offer here at DrBK, and your treatment plan can include any one or a combination of the following treatments:

Muscle relaxing injections

The injections involve targeting the affected surrounding muscles and relaxing them, which relieves the pain. This is usually a short-term solution and there may be an underlying problem that should be addressed for the long-term treatment.

Bespoke DrBK splint

If your TMJ issues are caused by dental issues, such as a misaligned jaw (which can be caused by many factors including ageing), you may be given a BK splint to wear at night. This is a newly designed splint, custom made for each patient that helps correct any contributing dental issues, providing a long-term solution.

Painless non-thermal laser therapy

Where appropriate, we use Erchnonia’s incredible FX635 and EVRL pain management laser devices to target pain and inflammation in specific areas. The painless laser is applied to the affected areas to help alleviate pain without the need for injectables or oral medications. Learn more about our laser therapy here.
