Grinding Your Teeth?

Are you grinding your teeth at night? Clenching until your jaw joints become sore?

While stress and anxiety can contribute to some teeth grinding or clenching, many patients grind their teeth during sleep, behavior which is often attributed to sleep disorders, abnormal bite or misaligned teeth.

Symptoms could include sore jaws, headaches, or even tooth pain. Left untreated, severe teeth grinding or bruxism can fracture and damage teeth.

Following a thorough examination and bite analysis, our doctors may recommend that you wear a nightguard during sleep to prevent grinding/clenching. Other treatments may include orthodontics, bite adjustment, counseling, or muscle relaxation therapy.

The first step to treating bruxism is diagnosis. Contact Us today to schedule your comprehensive examination appointment.
