In brief
Dr Dominique Boudet, Osteopath D.O. in Dubai, offers gentle osteopathy to help ease the jaw, face and neck tension often linked to teeth grinding (bruxism). With 25+ years of experience, he works softly on these muscles and the cranial region to support comfort, and works in dialogue with your dentist when a night guard is involved.
Bruxism careGrinding and clenching, often at night, can leave the jaw muscles tired and tight, sometimes with facial aches, headaches or a sensitive jaw. While the causes are complex, gentle osteopathy aims to ease this muscular tension so the jaw and face feel more comfortable.
Dr Boudet works softly on the jaw, cheek and temple muscles, and on the neck and cranial region, using gentle cranial and cranio-sacral techniques. Nothing is forced. He may also share simple self-care and relaxation ideas to support you between visits.
Bruxism is closely tied to dental care. Osteopathy does not stop grinding or replace dental treatment; it works beside it. If you have a night guard or are under dental care, Dr Boudet works gently on the surrounding tension, in dialogue with your dental practitioner.
