Bruxism refers to teeth grinding, and it can often happen you are least aware of it. For many bruxism sufferers, the majority of the teeth grinding, clenching, and gnashing can occur while sleeping. Over time, this constant friction and pressure can wear down your teeth, exposing the roots and weakening the enamel. For people who have teeth grinding issues, their teeth may be more brittle as well as prone to decay and other issues. Jaw problems like TMJ are also common and can cause chronic symptoms such as neck and face pain, jaw pain and stiffness, plus much more. For
Northampton teeth grinding treatment, we offer night guards that are custom made to fit comfortably in your mouth while also preventing any damage caused by teeth grinding.
If you often wake up with a sore jaw, you may very well grind your teeth at night and suffer from bruxism. For more information on
