The Symptoms of Grinding or Clenching Your Teeth
Since many people don’t know that they grind or clench, it’s important that you know which symptoms to look out for. The common signs that you may be grinding or clenching your teeth include:
- Aching jaws
- Sore teeth
- Cracked/chipped teeth
- Headaches
- Ear pain
- Jaw joint pain
- The sound of grinding teeth during your sleep
Don’t Wait It Out
You might think that there is no harm in seeing if your grinding or teeth clenching can get better on its own.
What you may be facing is teeth that are worn down and broken and constant pain and headaches. The damage can be permanent if you don’t get the attention you need.
Eventually, you may lose your teeth and have to look at replacing them, with costs adding up for more complex treatment. You can also find that you’re unable to enjoy your day-to-day activities due to your discomfort.
Our Solutions
One of the most common forms of treatment is a mouthguard worn during the night, which will protect your teeth from further damage. Also called a splint, your device is custom-created for you in our local laboratory. You’ll be able to wear it during night hours with a snug fit against your teeth. With the proper fit, you’ll still be able to breathe normally and can speak when wearing your mouthguard.
We also provide injections that can alleviate your jaw clenching. If you press your teeth together, you can have a simple injection that is normally used for cosmetic concerns. What it will do is allow the muscles in your jaw area to relax so that you’re not putting pressure on your teeth.
