The very first “Bruxism Awareness Week” is to be launched in the UK on Monday the 25th of October 2010.

Bruxism is characterized by the grinding of teeth and is typically accompanied by clenching of the jaw.

Bruxism effects over 10 million adults in the UK !

The symptoms are:

• Anxiety, stress & tension
• Depression
• Earache
• Morning Headaches
• Insomnia
• sore or painful jaw
• Migraines triggered by clenching
• TMJ pain
• Neck pain and stiffness

Eventually, bruxism shortens and blunts teeth  and this may lead to muscle pain.

There are a range of mini splints that directly prevents the source of the problem.

Significant improvements sometimes takes as little as only a few days after wearing a splint.

During Bruxism Awareness week we will be offering 10% off all splints and nightguards.

If you have any of the symptoms above why not pop in for a chat to see how we can help.
