Why Treat Teeth Grinding?
Grinding can fracture fillings, wear down enamel and even cause tooth loss.
Bruxism often leads to TMJ pain, headaches and facial muscle tension.
Night guards reduce clenching, helping you (and your partner) sleep better.
Signs You May Grind Your Teeth
- Worn or flattened teeth
- Morning jaw pain or stiffness
- Frequent headaches
- Chipped enamel or fractured fillings
Common Causes
Stress, anxiety, misaligned bite, or certain medications can all trigger bruxism. We’ll assess the root cause and recommend the right solution.
