HyperhIDROSIS AND BRUXISM (TEETH GRINDING
Bruxism (BRUK-siz-um) is a condition in which you grind, gnash or clench your teeth. If you have bruxism, you may unconsciously clench your teeth when you're awake (awake bruxism) or clench or grind them during sleep (sleep bruxism).
Sleep bruxism is considered a sleep-related movement disorder. People who clench or grind their teeth (brux) during sleep are more likely to have other sleep disorders, such as snoring and pauses in breathing (sleep apnea).
Mild bruxism may not require treatment. However, in some people, bruxism can be frequent and severe enough to lead to jaw disorders, headaches, damaged teeth and other problems.
Because you may have sleep bruxism and be unaware of it until complications develop, it's important to know the signs and symptoms of bruxism and to seek regular dental care.
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of bruxism may include:
Teeth grinding or clenching, which may be loud enough to wake up your sleep partner
Teeth that are flattened, fractured, chipped or loose
Worn tooth enamel, exposing deeper layers of your tooth
Increased tooth pain or sensitivity
Tired or tight jaw muscles, or a locked jaw that won't open or close completely
Jaw, neck or face pain or soreness
Pain that feels like an earache, though it's actually not a problem with your ear
Dull headache starting in the temples
Damage from chewing on the inside of your cheek
Sleep disruption
Everybody sweats. Sweating is a natural body function that helps us stay cool when we are in danger of overheating. However, if your sweating is becoming excessive, or you are sweating when you do not need to, you may be suffering from hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis can be embarrassing for sufferers to live with, especially if even prescription deodorants fail to keep the affected area dry.
What are the symptoms of hyperhidrosis?
The main symptom of hyperhidrosis is sweating. When you sweat, you may feel:
Wetness on your skin.
Damp clothing.
Beads of fluid dripping from your cheeks or forehead.
Hyperhidrosis symptoms can range in severity. You may have minor symptoms that come and go or you may have constant symptoms that have an impact on your day-to-day activities.
Hyperhidrosis can also have an emotional impact on your life. Many people who have hyperhidrosis feel embarrassed when they sweat or they might avoid being around other people. If this condition affects your mental health, reach out to a healthcare provider to help you manage your symptoms and a mental health professional to help you manage how you feel about your body.
why choose relaxing treatments?
Why might a clinician recommend wrinkle relaxing injections?
Your clinician may recommend anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers, depending on their assessment of your skin and your treatment goals .
Anti-wrinkle injections injections are used in the treatment of several areas including: the forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet, as well as upper lip lines.
We can also use dermal fillers to treat the deep lines, creases and sagging which are caused by loss of volume.
If you are considering anti-ageing treatment, you must ensure that you only do so after a proper consultation with someone who is qualified.
You should make sure that you have been made aware of all the alternative treatment options and all the relevant facts, including potential risks and complications, before proceeding with the treatment.

Tiny injections are used, and the procedure is virtually pain-free.
