Bruxism (Teeth Grinding & Clenching): Protecting Your Smile & Jaw Health
Relief for Jaw Pain, Headaches & Worn Teeth
Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth? You may be suffering from bruxism, a condition where you unconsciously grind or clench your teeth—often during sleep. At ConfiDENT, we specialize in diagnosing and treating bruxism to protect your teeth, relieve pain, and improve your quality of life.
Signs & Symptoms of Bruxism
Bruxism can be mild or severe, but if left untreated, it can lead to tooth damage, jaw disorders, and chronic pain. Common signs include:
- Worn, cracked, or chipped teeth – Constant grinding can wear down enamel, making teeth more prone to fractures and sensitivity.
- Jaw pain & TMJ disorders – Clenching places excessive strain on the jaw joints, leading to discomfort, popping, and difficulty opening your mouth.
- Morning headaches & facial soreness – Many bruxism sufferers wake up with tension headaches or sore facial muscles due to overnight clenching.
- Tooth sensitivity – Grinding can expose dentin, causing heightened sensitivity to hot, cold, and sweet foods.
- Receding gums & loose teeth – The pressure from grinding can weaken the bone and gum support around your teeth.
