Most people probably grind and clench their teeth once in a while. However, occasional teeth grinding is known as bruxism. It is easy to correct this behavior during the waking hours, but if grinding occurs unconsciously at nighttime, it isn’t easy to control. If teeth grinding occurs regularly, the teeth can be damaged:
- Fractures or wear may occur.
- Teeth can become loose.
- Other oral health complications can arise.
If you are a night-grinder, Dr. Lubin can offer you a night guard appliance to help reduce stress in your teeth and facial muscles and help protect your teeth from irreversible damages.
