Treatment for teeth grinding and occlusal splint therapy

Do you often wake up with a sore jaw, headaches, or worn-down teeth?

These could be signs of teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. My Dentist Drouin offers effective teeth grinding treatment to protect your teeth, relieve discomfort, and improve your quality of life. Our experienced team is here to help you manage and prevent the damaging effects of bruxism.

Bruxism Dentist

As a trusted bruxism dentist, we specialise in diagnosing and treating teeth grinding to protect your oral health. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to a range of complications, including:

  • Tooth Damage: Excessive grinding can wear down enamel, chip teeth, or cause fractures.
  • Jaw Pain: Bruxism often leads to discomfort or pain in the jaw muscles and joints.
  • Headaches: Chronic grinding can trigger tension headaches or migraines.
  • Sleep Disruption: Grinding noises can disturb your partner’s sleep and affect your own rest quality.

Our experienced bruxism dentist at My Dentist Drouin creates personalised treatment plans that address the root cause of grinding, helping you regain comfort and prevent long-term damage.
