What is Tooth Grinding
Tooth grinding, also known as bruxism is a para-functional habit involving the clenching and gnashing of the teeth and jaws. This may be occurring while awake, or while asleep. Untreated bruxism may cause pain, tooth fracture, breaking of restorations and crowns, headaches and jaw problems. An occlusal splint works well for patients who are looking for mouth corrections. Our dentists are very experienced in that field. Call now!
