Teeth Grinding Injections – Bruxism
Service Essentials
Bruxism is a condition where muscles attached to the jaw are overactive, mainly when we sleep, which results in teeth grinding and clenching. The result is a sore face in the morning or, worse, damaged and cracked teeth. Luckily, this overactivity can be remedied using anti-wrinkle injections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is grinding teeth?
Grinding teeth, also known as bruxism, is a condition characterized by the involuntary clenching, gnashing, or grinding of teeth. It can occur during the day (awake bruxism) or at night during sleep (sleep bruxism). Grinding teeth can cause various dental and health problems if left untreated.
How to stop grinding teeth?
To address grinding teeth, treatment options may include:
- Stress management techniques: Since stress and anxiety can contribute to teeth grinding, finding ways to relax and manage stress levels can be beneficial.
- Mouthguards or splints: A dentist can custom-fit a mouthguard or splint that is worn during sleep to protect the teeth and alleviate the pressure caused by grinding.
- Behavioral therapy: In some cases, behavior modification techniques, such as habit-reversal therapy, can be used to help individuals become aware of the grinding habit and learn techniques to redirect the behavior.
Why do I grind my teeth in my sleep?
The exact cause of sleep bruxism is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of multiple factors. Some potential causes include:
- Abnormal bite alignment: Misaligned teeth or issues with the jaw structure can contribute to teeth grinding during sleep.
- Stress and anxiety: Increased stress levels or anxiety can lead to teeth grinding, particularly during sleep when individuals may have less control over their actions.
- Sleep disorders: Sleep-related disorders such as snoring, or restless leg syndrome may be associated with teeth grinding.
- Medications and substances: Certain medications, such as antidepressants or stimulants, as well as the use of alcohol or caffeine, can increase the likelihood of teeth grinding during sleep.
Is teeth grinding a sign of sleep apnea?
Teeth grinding can sometimes be associated with sleep apnea, a sleep disorder characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep. However, not all individuals who grind their teeth have sleep apnea, and not all individuals with sleep apnea grind their teeth. If you suspect you have sleep apnea or are experiencing symptoms such as loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, or pauses in breathing during sleep, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
What causes teeth grinding?
Teeth grinding can have multiple causes, including:
- Stress and anxiety: Psychological factors, such as stress, anxiety, or tension, can contribute to teeth grinding.
- Malocclusion: Misalignment of the teeth or jaws can lead to grinding as the individual tries to find a more comfortable position for their bite.
- Lifestyle factors: Certain lifestyle habits, such as excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption, smoking, or recreational drug use, can be associated with teeth grinding.
Can grinding teeth cause mouth sores?
Yes, grinding teeth can sometimes cause mouth sores. The excessive pressure and friction from teeth grinding can irritate the soft tissues inside the mouth, leading to the formation of mouth sores or ulcers. These sores may cause discomfort or pain and can take some time to heal.
Is there a connection between teeth grinding and headaches?
Yes. The excessive strain on the jaw muscles and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) caused by grinding teeth can lead to tension headaches or migraines. The muscle tension and inflammation can radiate pain to the head, resulting in headaches.
Can children grind their teeth?
Yes, teeth grinding can occur in children as well. In fact, it is relatively common among children, especially during the development of their baby and permanent teeth. Most children outgrow teeth grinding without intervention, and it typically does not cause long-term damage. However, if teeth grinding persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a pediatric dentist or healthcare professional for evaluation and guidance.
Can teeth grinding cause tooth sensitivity?
Yes, teeth grinding can contribute to tooth sensitivity. The constant grinding and clenching of teeth can wear down the enamel, the protective outer layer of the teeth. As a result, the underlying dentin, which contains microscopic tubules that connect to the tooth's nerve endings, may become exposed, leading to increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages
Can teeth grinding cause damage to dental restorations, such as crowns or fillings?
Yes, it can potentially cause damage to dental restorations. The excessive force and repetitive motion can lead to wear, fractures, or dislodgment of the restorations.

Julie was so helpful, friendly and fun to talk to and the facial was great!
Had such a lovely hydrocleansing at Amara. Everyone was absolutely lovely and it was all so perfect
Kelly is amazing, she’s so friendly and full of great tips. I had exion with her and the results are great so far.
Julie is a brilliant therapist, very knowledgeable and I always get great results from my Hydrafacial. Would highly recommend.
Had a great experience, easy booking and thorough consultation with the doctor. Recommend!
Lovely experience with Julie and Kelly.They made me feel so comfortable during the treatment. I'd recommend them.Fab😀😀😀
Mylene was very thorough and made me feel at ease. The receptionist is also friendly. Enjoyed my experience, and will be returning.
It was in great experience for my first time in here thx to Kelly was a great professional and she has nice tips for home care too ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I have been going to Amara for many years. Every time I go I have the most enjoyable experience. Such a high standard of customer service. A wonderful warm and professional welcome. Pioneering treatments that keep customers like me coming back year after year.Well done team and thank you.
Always a great experience with Amara. The staff provide great skincare advice.
Love going to Amara Clinic! Dr. Paul is a pro! My Botox is always perfect…very natural! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another great appointment, thanks Kelly for my glowing skin. Highly recommend a hydrafacial with Amara.
Lovely experience at Amara! Kelly was attentive and thorough throughout the Hydra facial process. Thank you so much!
Amazing clinic! Staff are always so helpful and the hydrafacial is just 👌🏻
Fantastic service as usual. Dr Paul is a very warm person and very interesting to converse with, which really makes you feel at home and relaxed. In terms of procedure, he is extremely knowledgeable and guides you through everything. I travel 90 minutes to see him even though there are many clinics near me.
Excellent experience, staff really helpful and friendly. Skin feels amazing afterwards. Highly recommend.
I got microneedling with Julia, It was so good for me she was so lovely and so patient, she explained to me every step so clear
Best hydrafacial in Dublin! Julie is very informative during the session and I love her tips on maintaining great looking skin!
Tried hydrafacial with Julie and it was amazing! She's really good at her work and you feel so relaxed after the treatment. She also has a great vibe so you feel really comfortable and enjoy the overall experience.Had a hydrafacial with Kelly as well. My skin felt extra soft and glossy the next day. She's really good to have you busy with interesting chats as well.
It was the first time visit for me and was a bit nervous but Julie reassured me and explained me everything she’s going to do. The session was so good and felt my skin was very smooth after that. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go again next time!
Thank you so much Julie, skin is glowing and I feel so relaxed. Looking forward to coming back again for my Hydrafacial 🙂
I received a HydraFacial from Julie today and I must say, I feel completely rejuvenated. Julie made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire experience, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The treatment itself was fantastic, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I look forward to returning in the future.
Very Happy with Dr Mylene.She knows exactly what I’m looking for and does everything very natural and never overfills etc. Always very friendly and welcoming. Wouldn’t go to anyone else.
Julie is a skincare expert and I can't recommend her enough. I had different facial procedures with fantastic results. Julie's care and expertise shine through even in small gestures.
I had my fourth and last Exion treatment with Amara on Wednesday this week - the first three were taken care of by Roisin, who was brilliant and gentle, and also always receptive to feedback and helpful with any concerns I had later. All the ladies in the clinic have always been warm and welcoming too. I was happy with the quality of the treatment and was looking forward to leaving a five-star review, but unfortunately feel compelled to take a star off because of how a genuine concern from my end was dealt with after my last treatment.Julie was assigned to administer my last treatment and on account of having had bruises on my skin after, I texted the clinic with my concerns and relevant photos (like I always did before, if there were any). Having been used to polite communication from Amara, it was a shock to receive a phone call from Julie where she was blatantly condescending. I don't take her tone and words personally because it was clear that she took my concern personally, which isn't on me. A basic customer concern had turned into her telling me that everything had already been outlined for me, I'd have to just be patient until my skin recovered and she has already told me all she could, assuming and claiming that I was unhappy because I had been used to a different aesthetician until then and most shocking of all -- how senior she is at the salon. She also went to the extent of asking me whether I had understood what she had said - I do not take that attitude from anyone, let alone someone I have paid to administer a service. She was so insistent on proving that she wasn't in the wrong that I wasn't even given a fair chance to speak - just had a load of her own assumptions thrown at me. When I highlighted this to her, she said that she called as soon as she saw my text and was trying to help by discussing my moisturising routine (which I have been aware of ever since I started getting the treatment). She also went on to tell me that she had discussed a product with me when I was in that I should really have been using since the beginning - because apparently my skin tone is more prone to hyperpigmentation post treatment - and also blamed my skin's reaction on me having had itchy eyes by saying it was because I had "hay fever" (which I never did) and high cortisol/stress levels. By the end, I felt like I was having to reassure her rather than her reassuring me. Phew.It was an exhausting conversation to have as a customer already stressed about my skin. She offered to have me go in to the clinic and put me under the lights to calm any redness if, in her words, "it would give me any peace of mind", but she kept denying the fact that it could be bruising (it most certainly is - I am not a professional aesthetician but I do know my skin better than anyone else), and also apologised "if" I felt a certain way. This whole interaction has quite obviously deterred me from returning. This is a shame, and irrespective, I maintain my stance - as already highlighted to the staff at the clinic - that my skin hasn't had this strong a reaction to the same treatment before.I think it's basic customer care etiquette to be receptive to feedback, and this was certainly not in line with the decorum and maturity expected of a staff member who claims to be so senior. Seniority also means nothing to me as I would be happier receiving better service and more respectful communication from someone who was newer. It was very disappointing that she had made it all about her, when none of it was. It's a pity that my last interaction with the clinic has left me with such a bitter taste in my mouth.
From the amazing reception to leaving the clinic, this was a 100% enjoyable experience. Kelly and Barbara on the reception are just pure joy, friendly, professional,and beyond welcoming. I had booked a hydra facial with Julie (more on that later) and a consultation with Dr Paul to discuss what I would like to have done.I was nervous and not sure what I would like to have done, also very nervous of been talked into treatment that I was not sure about. After a great informative chat with Dr Paul, I decided on profhilo as I was too nervous to go for Botox. I really respect that there was no pressure or hard sell. Just lots of good advice.Three months now and I am really happy with the profhilo, it has definitely moisturised my skin and evened out my skin tone.Hydra facial with Julie. This is one of my favourite treatments, the finish result is amazing skin, glowing clear complexion. Julie is a skin specialist, who educates you while working away with little gems of knowledge.I love going to the clinic not just for the facial, she is just the loveliest therapist and love the chats.Sorry for the long winded review, but I am so glad I came to the Amara clinic the whole team are simply amazing. So glad I found this place and very happy with the big improvement in my skin.Thank youLouise McCabe

I fly into Ireland especially for the services and the quality of products in this clinic but also for the expertise of the doctors there.Hands down best clinic in Ireland and would say Europe.
I’m so glad I chose Amara for my first filler treatment. Dr Paul is amazing at what he does. I’m thrilled with the results. He’s after taking a few years off my face! The results are very natural. I also had a fantastic hydrafacial with Barbara. My skin is still glowing a week later. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.
Dr Stephen was such a gem made me feel so at ease and answered all my questions for my first treatment. All the staff were super welcoming and the clinic is beautiful ♥️
A wonderful experience. The clinic is so well run by Ronan and Siobhan is deeply knowledgable and professional. A five star experience.
Great environment, Amazing service & well deserved relax every time I visit! Well informed & knowledgeable insights to address any concerns helping you consciously focus on just what you want to achieve!
Amazing experience with Julie today for Emface treatment. IShe explained the whole procedure in advance and was with me and very reassuring every step of the way. My skin is glowing and healthy and I am really delighted with the treatment. Looking forward to my next visit.
I’ve been coming to Amara clinic for about 13 years. Dr Paul is excellent. His face freezing machine makes the injectable’s really tolerable and he never over-treats any area so the results look natural but still effective. Great clinic.
It was my first time to have any work done and was very nervous but my daughter is a client of Dr. Paul and encouraged me to go and to say I was made feel so relaxed and comfortable and felt I knew Dr Paul forever. Looking forward to seeing my results in a few weeks.Went today for top up of 2nd treatment was a quick painless and professional appointment fantastic staff as always thank you
A great visit as usual.. I had an amazing Hydrafacial with Siobhan, which always leaves looking bright and fresh. Siobhan has a huge amount of knowledge when it comes to skin and skin-care and my appointments are always so informative.
Best Hydrafacial and Natural results in town. Plus all the Amara team are super friendly professional and good craic!
