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.
Signs and Symptoms of Teeth Grinding
Not sure if you’re grinding your teeth? Bruxism often occurs during sleep, making it difficult to detect. Common signs and symptoms include:
- Persistent jaw pain or stiffness.
- Flattened, chipped, or worn-down teeth.
- Increased tooth sensitivity.
- Headaches, especially upon waking.
- Damage to the inside of your cheeks from chewing.
- Clicking or popping noises in the jaw.
- Disrupted sleep for you or your partner.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to seek professional teeth grinding treatment to prevent further complications.
Our Process
My Dentist Drouin uses a comprehensive approach to manage and treat bruxism effectively:
- Initial Assessment: Our team conducts a thorough examination of your teeth, jaw, and bite to identify the signs of grinding.
- Customised Occlusal Splints: We design custom-made splints (night guards) to protect your teeth and alleviate grinding during sleep.
- Lifestyle Recommendations: We address potential triggers, such as stress or poor sleep habits, and offer guidance on managing these factors.
- Jaw Relaxation Techniques: Our team may suggest exercises to reduce tension in the jaw muscles.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Regular check-ups ensure the treatment is effective and adjustments are made if necessary.
With our tailored approach, you’ll experience significant relief from the discomfort of bruxism while protecting your teeth from further harm.
