Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Teeth grinding during sleep, known as Bruxism, affects both children and adults, with children being more susceptible. This common sleep disorder can significantly impact oral health and overall well-being if left untreated.

Health Implications

Without proper management, Bruxism can lead to:

  • Severe facial pain
  • Gum recession
  • Occlusal trauma
  • Arthritis development

Professional Treatment

Treatment typically involves custom-fitted night guards or occlusal guards, which effectively prevent tooth damage and minimize grinding. The process requires multiple appointments for precise measurements and proper fitting to ensure optimal protection.

Early intervention is crucial, especially for children showing signs of teeth grinding. Professional evaluation can help develop an effective management strategy to prevent long-term complications and ensure better oral health.
