Grinding / Clenching

Grinding or clenching your teeth can cause serious problems with your dental health. Teeth grinding most often occurs while sleeping. You may wake up with a stiff neck, tenderness in your jaw, or a headache. There is also a strong chance you can wear the enamel down on your teeth, and clenching on a regular basis will weaken the tooth structure, which can cause the tooth to fracture. Grinding can also cause stress to the Temporomandibular joint and result in a disorder called TMD. This disorder causes problems with the jaw and facial muscles. Difficulties to chew, speak, and open your mouth wide or a clicking or popping jaw are all symptoms of TMD. An appliance called a splint or night guard can be made to relieve pressure on the joint and prevent any further damage to your teeth.
