Helping You Stop Your Teeth Grinding

Posted

Smiling Asian elderly woman looking at camera standing outside at homeIf you suspect you are grinding your teeth while you sleep, you may worry about its long-term effects on the look of your smile. Not only does this habit harm your appearance by wearing down the surface of your teeth, but the harm threatens your oral health as well. Although many people occasionally rub or bite their teeth, practicing the habit consistently causes damage that needs to be addressed. Left untreated, your bite can become out of alignment, and the loss of your enamel gives a yellow look.

Your Newport, CA, dentist understands the importance of treating this medical condition called bruxism. We can offer a reliable therapy for teeth grinding in the form of an oral guard. When you wear your oral guard before bed, you will sleep with each row of teeth separate from one another. This prevents erosion and can reduce stress within the muscles of your face and jaw. Enjoy feeling more refreshed when you awake!
