Teeth Grinding
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth. It can happen while you are awake, but many people grind or clench during sleep without realizing it.
Mild bruxism may not always need treatment. When it becomes frequent, it can wear down enamel, chip teeth, increase sensitivity, strain jaw muscles, and contribute to morning headaches.
Bruxism Warning Signs
Grinding or clenching loud enough to disturb sleep
Flattened, chipped, fractured, or loose teeth
Worn enamel or increased tooth sensitivity
Jaw, neck, face, or temple soreness
Cheek biting or irritation inside the mouth
Headaches, especially after waking up
Jaw Joint Pain
What Is TMD?
TMD stands for temporomandibular joint disorder. It refers to problems involving the jaw joints, jaw muscles, and surrounding structures that help your mouth open, close, chew, and speak.
TMD may cause pain around the jaw, ear, face, temples, or neck. Some patients also notice clicking, popping, grinding, or difficulty opening and closing their mouth.
Common Triggers
How We Help
Dental Evaluation for Bruxism and TMD
If you have jaw pain, tooth wear, headaches, or signs of grinding, your dentist can examine your teeth, bite, jaw joints, and muscles. Dental checkups can often reveal grinding damage even if you do not notice symptoms.
Your evaluation may include X-rays, bite assessment, muscle checks, and a discussion about your symptoms. If your case needs advanced care, a referral may be recommended.
01
Check the Teeth
We look for worn enamel, cracks, chips, sensitivity, and signs of bite pressure.
02
Assess the Jaw
We evaluate jaw movement, tenderness, clicking, popping, and muscle tension.
03
Plan Protection
If appropriate, we can recommend a custom nightguard to help protect your teeth from grinding damage.
Custom Nightguards
Why Choose a Dentist-Made Nightguard?
A custom nightguard is made from impressions or scans of your teeth, so it fits more securely than a generic store-bought guard. A better fit usually means better comfort and more consistent use.
