Treatment for Bruxism

Do you often clench or grind your teeth in stressful situations? You probably have bruxism.

Bruxism is a condition characterized by chronic teeth clenching and grinding. Some people may not know that they have the condition because they grind their teeth during sleep. Over time, repeated tension and wear and tear on teeth can take a toll. Learn about the problems that are caused by bruxism below.

Signs of Bruxism

There are several common signs of bruxism to look out for. Some of these signs may include:

Loose Teeth
Earaches
Fractured or Chipped Teeth
Jaw Pain
Sore Gums
Worn Teeth
Tooth Sensitivity

At Creekside Dentistry, there are multiple treatments that can stop bruxism at the source and restore teeth that have been damaged by the condition. Some of the bruxism treatments that we offer include:

Bite Guard

This customized, removable oral appliance can be worn at night or during high stress situations. The mouthguard keeps teeth from grinding and prevents tooth damage.

Bite Alignment Therapy

Malocclusion, or the improper alignment of teeth, is one of the causes of bruxism. Treatments such as clear braces and dental veneers can help realign teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental crowns, porcelain veneers, and tooth bonding can all be used to repair worn and damaged teeth. Cosmetic solutions are a viable option for patients after teeth clenching and grinding is stopped.
