Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) & TMJ Disorder

If you experience jaw pain, headaches, facial tension, or a clicking sound when you open your mouth, your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) may be the cause. Issues with this joint often linked to teeth grinding or clenching can lead to discomfort not just in the jaw, but also in the head, neck, and shoulders.

At St. John’s Dental Clinic, we can assess your symptoms, identify the underlying causes, and create a personalised treatment plan to relieve strain and restore comfort.

TMJ and clenching-related problems are highly treatable and with the right care, you can reduce pain, protect your teeth, and feel like yourself again.
