BRUXISM / TEETH GRINDING

Bruxism solutions at our Jarvis dental office

What is Bruxism?

Are you waking up in the morning with a sore jaw? Are you unable to open wide or are experiencing a locked jaw, or a migraine headache? You may be experiencing Bruxism. Bruxism is the dental term for “grinding your teeth”.

Grinding your teeth can cause muscle pain, headaches, tooth wear and fracture, jaw joint pain and gum recession.

Bruxism treatments and solutions

Occlusal splints or dental night guards are commonly prescribed by your dentist as a treatment for bruxism. Our team can create the patient an appliance to wear at night, to protect your teeth from stresses and strains of grinding.
