Teeth Grinding

Tired of grinding your teeth at night? This unconscious habit, often peaking during sleep, can be hard on your teeth, jaw, and facial muscles. Over time, teeth grinding can cause serious damage including broken teeth and damage to the enamel.

Teeth grinding is an unconscious pattern of tension in the jaw. Because most habits are unconscious, optimal treatment begins with hypnosis. By identifying the tension and addressing the problem directly, your brain can learn to relax the jaw muscle and mouth during the day and while asleep to help alleviate this problem.

It's hard to know where to start when writing this recommendation for Scott. For one, Scott's dedication and positive attitude toward his career and life is unique. He is always willing to help out when needed and never complains about his work load or stress. Not only does he seem to relate easily to adults, but I have witnessed his incredible ability to interact with adolescents and explain to them the benefits of hypnotherapy while teaching them the basics and demonstrating amazing inductions. As a therapist, he takes his time to assure his client is completely comfortable before hypnotizing them and never makes one feel guilty or awkward for seeking help. Things move at the client's pace and his ideas and analogies are thought-provoking and wise. He is a well spoken man who has the ability to motivate one to live life to its fullest. Scott is one of those people who takes what he does seriously while remaining personable and continuously striving to uncover new and better ways of doing what he does. I'm honestly not sure how he finds the time to manage all of his projects as well as his practice while remaining sane. My hope is that he will soon be able to share his talent by taking time to teach others so that more people will benefit from his overwhelming knowledge of hypnosis and in turn help others. Simply put, as my high school students tell me after Scott comes to speak, "Scott is the man".
