Teeth Grinding Treatments

Benefits of Teeth Grinding Treatments

Teeth grinding treatment has advanced significantly, using modern techniques and careful assessment to provide effective protection and relief. Today’s bruxism management methods offer benefits that help prevent tooth damage, jaw discomfort, and dental complications, supporting long-term oral health and overall comfort.

Prevents Tooth Damage

Treatment helps protect your teeth from the excessive wear, chips, and fractures that can result from persistent grinding and clenching, preserving your natural tooth structure.

Reduces Jaw Pain & Discomfort

Effective bruxism management can significantly reduce jaw muscle tension, headaches, and facial pain commonly associated with teeth grinding habits.

Improves Sleep Quality

By addressing teeth grinding, treatment can lead to better sleep for both you and your partner, reducing nighttime disturbances caused by grinding sounds.

Protects Existing Dental Work

Treatment helps safeguard crowns, fillings, and other dental restorations from damage caused by excessive grinding forces, extending their lifespan.

Custom-Fitted Protection

Professional night guards and splints are custom-made to fit your mouth precisely, providing comfortable and effective protection that over-the-counter options cannot match.

Long-Term Cost Savings

Preventing grinding damage through treatment is typically more cost-effective than repairing extensive tooth damage, worn restorations, or treating TMJ disorders later.

What Is Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)?

Common causes include stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, certain medications, caffeine consumption, alcohol use, and bite irregularities. Sometimes the exact cause cannot be determined, and multiple factors may contribute to the condition.

Signs include waking up with jaw pain or headaches, worn tooth surfaces, increased tooth sensitivity, tight or tired jaw muscles, or being told by a partner that you make grinding sounds during sleep.

Bruxism can lead to worn tooth enamel, chipped or cracked teeth, loose teeth, jaw muscle pain, headaches, earaches, and damage to existing dental work like fillings or crowns.

Treatment options include custom-fitted night guards, stress management techniques, bite adjustment, treating underlying sleep disorders, and addressing contributing factors like certain medications or lifestyle habits.

Night guards create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing the forces from grinding and preventing direct tooth-to-tooth contact that causes wear and damage.

Yes, custom night guards made by your dentist fit precisely and provide superior comfort and protection. Over-the-counter guards often don’t fit properly and may be uncomfortable or less effective.

With proper care, custom night guards typically last 1-3 years, though this varies depending on the severity of grinding and individual wear patterns. Regular check-ups help monitor wear and determine replacement timing.

Treatment focuses on protecting your teeth and reducing symptoms rather than necessarily stopping the grinding behaviour entirely. Many patients find significant relief and protection through properly fitted night guards.

Clean your night guard daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or denture cleaner, rinse thoroughly, and store in a ventilated case. Bring it to dental appointments for professional cleaning and inspection.

Yes, since stress and anxiety are common triggers, stress reduction techniques like relaxation exercises, meditation, counselling, or lifestyle changes may help reduce grinding frequency and intensity.

Teeth grinding occurs in both children and adults. Many children outgrow it naturally, whilst adult bruxism often requires intervention as it typically doesn’t resolve on its own.

Yes, severe grinding can disrupt sleep quality for both you and your partner. It may also be associated with other sleep disorders, and addressing bruxism often improves overall sleep quality.

Treatment costs vary depending on the approach taken. Custom night guards are an investment in protecting your teeth and may prevent more expensive treatments for grinding damage later.

Contact our practice if your night guard causes discomfort, as adjustments can often be made to improve fit and comfort. A properly fitted guard should feel comfortable and secure during wear.
