Jaw clenching and tooth grinding can place significant pressure on your teeth, jaw muscles and jaw joints. Over time, this may contribute to tooth wear, broken teeth, headaches or discomfort around the jaw.
At Appleton Park Dental, we provide a thorough dental assessment for patients experiencing clenching, grinding, jaw tension, tooth wear or TMJ-related discomfort. We will listen to your concerns, examine your teeth and bite, and discuss what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Your recommendations will depend on your individual needs. Options may include protective appliances such as a night guard or splint, bite and tooth-wear management, advice on reducing strain, and referral where this is appropriate.
If you are concerned about jaw pain, grinding or the effects on your teeth, please contact our friendly team to arrange an assessment.
