Botox
No, I am not that vain. It is actually for Clara. We got Botox in her jaw muscles yesterday, just to loosen them a little. Today she is not grinding her teeth, and it is wonderful! We've been trying to find a way to make her stop for quite some time now, and nobody has suggested anything for us, in fact they usually laugh because it is our problem and not hers (although I do worry about her teeth). Well, last week, we were at her rehab clinic for a follow up - not with our dr, but with a PA, and she asked if anyone had ever suggested Botox for her grinding. I was definitely intrigued by the possibility of not having to hear that sound, so she got us in right away, and it is relatively quiet in our home this morning (shouts praises here)!

Hey Patti,you're tagged. Go to my blog and see what to do.
That is awesome!
That's awesome! So how does that work - is it a permanent solution, or do you have to follow up with it down the road? Glad it's quiet now!
This will last between 3-6 months and then we will have to repeat it. Not a big deal though if it works, better than the grinding. She actually did pretty good and they describe the pain as no more than an immunization.
That is great! I haven't ever heard of that. I'm glad it worked. That sound (grinding teeth) makes me cringe. Luckily Addison doesn't do it to much.
wow i didnt know this- this is really cool!:)
