Magnesium for Bruxism-Related Pain
for Facial Pain
Magnesium supplementation may reduce nocturnal jaw clenching (bruxism) and associated facial muscle pain by supporting muscle relaxation and nervous system regulation.
How it works
Magnesium modulates NMDA receptor activity and calcium-dependent muscle contraction, potentially reducing the nocturnal hyperactivity of masticatory muscles during bruxism.
What to watch for
Limited specific RCT evidence for bruxism. Most relevant in people with general muscle tension, anxiety-driven jaw clenching, and concurrent magnesium deficiency. Well tolerated at standard doses.
