Relieve Jaw Tension, Headaches and Tooth Wear with Expert Care

If you wake with jaw pain, headaches, or notice signs of worn or cracked teeth, you could be suffering from bruxism — the medical term for teeth grinding or jaw clenching, often during sleep. At The Canmore Clinic in Dunfermline, we offer effective, non-surgical solutions to help you protect your teeth, relieve facial pain, and sleep more comfortably.

Our bruxism treatments are led by Dr Matt Bulkeley, who will assess your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate approach — whether that’s lifestyle changes, custom night guards, or injectable muscle-relaxing treatment to reduce jaw tension.

Common Signs of Teeth Grinding

You may be grinding or clenching your teeth if you experience:

  • Morning jaw stiffness or pain
  • Frequent tension headaches or facial pain
  • Cracked, chipped or worn-down teeth
  • Tooth sensitivity or unexplained damage
  • Poor sleep or waking during the night

Left untreated, bruxism can cause damage to the teeth and jaw joint, affect your sleep, and lead to long-term discomfort.

How We Can Help

At The Canmore Clinic, we take a personalised approach to treating bruxism. Depending on the severity and cause of your symptoms, we may recommend:

  • Muscle-relaxing injections (Botulinum Toxin): to reduce clenching by gently relaxing the overactive jaw muscles
  • Custom-made night guards: to protect your teeth from damage during sleep
  • Lifestyle and stress management advice: to help reduce triggers of clenching and grinding

What to Expect

  • A detailed consultation with Dr Matt Bulkeley to discuss your symptoms and assess jaw muscle tension
  • If suitable, treatment with jaw Botox (Botulinum Toxin) may be offered during the same appointment or booked shortly after
  • Follow-up advice and support to help you manage and monitor your symptoms

Frequently Asked Questions

Will muscle-relaxing injections affect my ability to chew or speak?

No — the treatment targets specific jaw muscles and is carefully dosed to reduce clenching without affecting normal function.

How long does the treatment last?

Results typically last 3 to 6 months. Regular treatments can help maintain comfort and reduce long-term damage from grinding.

Is this treatment only for severe bruxism?

Not at all. Early treatment can prevent damage and provide fast relief for mild to moderate symptoms, especially when other methods haven’t worked.
