Teeth grinding treatments
Protect your teeth against grinding
Bruxism is a condition in which you grind or clench your teeth and it is often stress related. If you have bruxism, you may
unconsciously clench your teeth when you're awake (awake bruxism) or clench or grind them during sleep (sleep bruxism). It is reported that one in ten people in the UK grind their teeth at night.
Mild bruxism may not require treatment. However, in some people, bruxism can be frequent and severe enough to lead to
jaw disorders, headaches, worn and damaged teeth and other problems.
There are a number of signs that might indicated that you are suffering from the condition:
- waking with a headache, earache, facial or jaw pain that eases as the day progresses
- teeth with signs of wear and tear
- increased tooth sensitivity, flattening, cracks
- or broken fillings
- neck, shoulder or back pain
- disrupted sleep
A custom-made mouth guard or splint will protect your teeth from wear and relieve the symptoms associated with grinding. Bespoke appliances can
help relax your muscles and break your grinding habit.
Introducing some very simple steps we can help you by reducing or even eliminating the pain, without the need for any medication.
