Teeth Grinding
We prioritize not just the appearance but the overall health and functionality of your smile. One common issue we address is teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. This condition can significantly impact both your oral health and daily life.
Understanding Bruxism: Teeth grinding is a common dental concern that often occurs involuntarily, especially during sleep. It involves the clenching or gnashing of teeth, exerting excessive force that can lead to various dental problems.
Signs and Symptoms: Identifying bruxism early is crucial for effective intervention. Look out for symptoms such as:
- Worn Tooth Surfaces: Excessive grinding can wear down tooth surfaces, leading to a flattened or uneven appearance.
- Jaw Pain: Bruxism often causes jaw discomfort or pain, particularly in the morning.
- Headaches: Persistent headaches, especially upon waking, can be a result of teeth grinding.
- Tooth Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity may indicate enamel erosion due to grinding.
- Disrupted Sleep: Bruxism can disrupt your sleep patterns and that of your sleep partner.
