Do you find yourself clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth when you are stressed? What about when you are asleep? Involuntary teeth grinding can do a number on your teeth and jaw muscles, and because it usually occurs during sleep, you might not even know you are doing it. As a part of our general dentistry treatments, we can provide a comfortable, custom-fitted night guard to give your jaw a rest and protect your oral health.
At Grace Dental Smiles, we want to help protect your teeth from damage and ensure your smile lasts a lifetime if possible. When a person clenches their jaw or grinds their teeth, this extra pressure can wear down teeth, even cause cracks, lost fillings or broken dental work. Severe teeth grinding is called bruxism and should be treated to prevent damage to your teeth.
