Bruxism is a condition in which you grind, gnash or clench your teeth.
If you suffer from bruxism, you may unconsciously clench or grind your teeth when you’re awake (awake bruxism) or during sleep (sleep bruxism).
The symptoms of bruxism may look like other conditions or health problems. See your Melbourne CBD dentist for a diagnosis and treatment.
See your Melbourne CBD dentist if you have any of the symptoms mentioned above or have other concerns about your teeth or jaw
Occlusal splints are specially designed mouthguards for people who grind and clench their teeth, have a history of pain and dysfunction related to their bite or temporomandibular joints (TMJ), or have completed a full mouth rehabilitation.
If left untreated, bruxism will lead to long-term dental wear and damage – and hence the need for further restorative treatment to try to correct the damage caused.
If you or your loved ones suspect that you are a bruxer, please let us know and schedule an appointment.
