When you wake up do you feel fabulous?

Do you wake from a night's sleep feeling refreshed or do you experience:

• a painful aching jaw?
• sore, sensitive teeth?
• a stiff neck?
• tension headache?

If you suffer from any of these problems, your bite ('occlusion') may be the culprit. We have a simple solution that avoids use of analgesic medication and invasive dental treatment. Clenching your teeth while asleep and during the day is the result of some of the strongest muscles in your body tensing up. This can cause morning and tension headaches and damage surrounding joints, teeth and muscles. Fitting of a simple plastic device over your front teeth diffuses the stimuli and makes this clenching virtually impossible. Relief of symptoms often occurs within hours.

Many otherwise unexplained headaches and pains in the neck and jaw area are caused by discrepancies in the bite of the teeth. Diagnosis of these problems is part of our routine examinations and treatments can be provided at the practice often very simply and dramatically effectively. Dr Harrison is a recognised expert in occlusal problems and is regularly asked to give lectures and training based on her knowledge of the field.  You can find more detailed information about occlusal issues by clicking here.
