Effective Solutions for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) Relief
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can lead to long-term dental issues if left unchecked. Our tailored treatments help mitigate the effects, protecting your teeth and alleviating discomfort.
Understanding Bruxism
Teeth grinding, known medically as bruxism, often occurs during sleep, making it a condition many are unaware of until complications arise. Symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, and wear on the teeth, leading to sensitivity and, in severe cases, tooth fracture. Addressing bruxism early is key to preventing further oral health issues and ensuring long-term dental well-being.
Bruxism can be caused by stress, anxiety, abnormal bite, or sleep disorders. Recognizing the signs and symptoms is the first step toward treatment and relief.
Custom Treatment Options:
Night Guards/ splints: Custom-fitted devices worn during sleep to protect the teeth from grinding.
Stress Management: Techniques and therapies to reduce stress and anxiety that may contribute to bruxism.
Dental Correction: Addressing underlying issues such as misaligned teeth that can exacerbate grinding.
Physical Therapy: Exercises to reduce muscle tension and jaw pain.
