Bruxism

Bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching, is a common problem that can lead to headaches, jaw pain and wear of the teeth. Our practice offers effective treatments to reduce symptoms and prevent further damage.

Many people unconsciously grind or clench their teeth, especially at night. This can lead to wear of the tooth enamel, cracks in the teeth, jaw joint problems and headaches. A commonly used treatment is a custom-made night guard (also called a splint). This protects your teeth from wear and reduces pressure on the jaw joint. In addition, we provide advice on relaxation techniques and lifestyle adjustments that can help reduce grinding. In severe cases, we can refer you to a specialized oral surgeon.
