Jaw Pain in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire

Jaw pain is often linked to clenching or grinding of the teeth, which can affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This can lead to symptoms including pain in the jaw joint, earache, headache, migraine, limited jaw opening, and a clicking jaw. These symptoms can occur during the day, at night, or both.

Cerezen is an innovative treatment for jaw pain and teeth grinding. The device looks like a small hearing aid and is placed into the ear canal, right where it meets the temporomandibular joint. It encourages the jaw into a better position to help reduce grinding and alleviate associated symptoms. Abbey House Dental is the only practice in Stone offering Cerezen.

Unlike a traditional bite guard, which is worn inside the mouth and can be bulky and affect speech, Cerezen is placed discreetly in the ear canal and can be worn at all times during the day and night. It does not affect speech, hearing, or eating, making it a more practical option for patients who grind or clench during the day.

Yes, a custom-made bite guard can help protect your teeth from the effects of grinding and ease pressure on the jaw muscles. Abbey House Dental can make bite guards from either hard or soft acrylic. However, bite guards are primarily suited for nighttime wear and may not be practical for patients who also clench during the day.

Cerezen may be suitable for patients who experience jaw pain, teeth grinding, or clenching, particularly those who clench during the day when a traditional bite guard would not be practical. Your dentist at Abbey House Dental will assess your symptoms and advise whether Cerezen is the right treatment option for you.
