FAQs
How can I tell if I grind my teeth?
Common signs include jaw pain, headaches, worn teeth, and disrupted sleep. In severe cases, you may experience earaches or difficulty opening your mouth fully. Some people only discover the habit when our team identifies signs of grinding during a check-up.
How do night guards help with grinding?
Night guards act as a protective barrier, preventing teeth from grinding against each other. Custom night guards are specifically molded to fit your teeth, providing better comfort and protection than store-bought options.
Can teeth grinding cause permanent damage?
Yes, untreated bruxism can lead to enamel wear, fractures, and jaw issues. Over time, this can result in the need for restorative treatments like crowns or even tooth loss.
Are custom night guards better than over-the-counter options?
Custom guards offer a more precise, comfortable fit for better protection. They are designed to fit the contours of your mouth, reducing the risk of discomfort and damage.
Can children grind their teeth?
Yes, children can grind their teeth, often due to stress, growth changes, or misaligned teeth. If you notice signs like jaw clenching or worn teeth, consult us for an evaluation to discuss treatment options.
