Bruxism
Perfect Smiles is Your Trusted Moore Family Dentist
Do you occasionally have inexplicable headaches in the morning or during peak times at work? Does your jaw ache with tension now and then? These may be signs of bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching, which can do some severe damage to the integrity of your teeth. Many people don’t even realize they grind their teeth until being told by their dentists - the signs can be subtle. Wearing a mouthguard while you sleep can stop the degenerative effects of bruxism for good. So if you’re grinding your teeth, don’t wait to get a mouthguard any longer than you have to.
