Bruxism is the habit of grinding and clenching teeth. This causes jaw pain and is harmful for your teeth. Other symptoms of bruxism include facial pain, headache and lack of sleep. Serious consequences of bruxism may include broken teeth or loss of tooth enamel. Bruxism may be caused by anxiety and stress.
Night guards act as a barrier between your teeth. When you grind or clench the night guard helps to reduce tension and gives cushioning support to the muscles in your jaw. This protects your enamel, prevents face and jaw pain.
A custom-made night guard is a great option to prevent damage from teeth grinding. Book an appointment at Beaufort Street Dental centre today to know more.
