I’ve recently spoken with several patients who have all been experiencing similar problems with jaw pain & clicking sometimes also connected with aching in the face, head or neck.

Although there are a number of possible causes for this, including injury or disease (such as arthritis) the most common cause is bruxism or the clenching and grinding of teeth. Typically people do this without being aware of it and therefore sometimes the cause of the pain is not immediately obvious.

At this time of year I like to use this column to take the opportunity to look at the basics of good dental care. Most people know generally what they should be doing but it’s easy to slip into bad habits. Therefore this is a friendly reminder to encourage you and your family to get on track with a healthy dental care regime for 2014! It’s not tough, it’s not expensive and it doesn’t take much time!
