We’ve all experienced face or tooth pain, and we know it can be difficult to ignore. Fiorenza Dental Group offers options to help identify and reduce facial pain.
Symptoms
Facial pain can be caused by injuries, headaches, infections, and jaw or dental problems. Headaches can also be a symptom of dental problems. If you wake up with headaches and the pain is focused around your jaw or ears, clenching or grinding during sleep may be contributing.
Botox
When people clench or grind their teeth, the jaw muscles can become overworked. Therapeutic Botox can be used to reduce muscle strength so continued clenching is less likely to cause as much pain. Results can last from about six months to multiple years. Contact us for current pricing.
Occlusal Guards
Occlusal guards, also called nightguards, cushion tooth-on-tooth contact and absorb pressure from grinding, helping protect teeth from gradual chipping and wear. These guards protect teeth but may not address the underlying muscle cause of pain. Contact us for current pricing.
