Did you know, everyone grinds or clenches their teeth during sleep?
Grinding and Clenching of the Teeth (Bruxism) is often caused by stress and it can cause teeth to break, cause pain in the jaw and even result in headaches and migraines.
While some people don’t develop problems from this, many people do.
Grinding and clenching of the teeth is a significant problem and here at Loveable Smiles we check ALL our patients for signs of it.
Those signs include:
- Broken, chipped or worn down teeth
- Loose teeth
- Sore muscles
- Sore/damaged and clicking jaw joints
- Tooth grinding causes premature failure of dental treatments as well as premature (any time before death) loss of teeth
ONE of the ways Dr. Korenman of Loveable Smiles in Richardson, TX helps patients is with mouth guards.
It fits over the front teeth only so the back teeth cannot touch and grind against each other at night while sleeping.
In addition to the elimination of teeth grinding, many patients who wear the NTI mouth guard have found an improvement with their headaches and have also found that they sleep better.
