Teeth Grinding Treatment From Ingenious Dentistry in Houston

If you suffer from Bruxism, you may want to look into a treatment plan for the grinding of teeth. 

What is Bruxism?

Bruxism can have symptoms of teeth clenching and grinding, sometimes to the point of waking up either yourself or your partner. These and other symptoms should not be ignored.

Other symptoms can include:

  • Sore, tired jaw 
  • Difficulty with opening or closing of the mouth 
  • Tooth sensitivities
  • Ear or jaw joint pain 

Teeth grinding treatments can be quite easy if it is addressed promptly enough.  An evaluation can help determine what the problem is and how it should be treated.

Dental Treatments 

Some of the treatments dentists offer are:

  • Splints and mouth guards. 
    • This keeps the teeth separated to avoid damage to the teeth from grinding, such as tearing or the wearing down of the tooth.
  • Dental correction.
    • If the teeth have been worn down too much or severely damaged, the teeth may need to be reshaped or crowns may need to be worn.

While some oral health maintenance may be able to be postponed with minimal consequences, this is one situation where you will want to get things in motion to save the quality of your teeth and begin the teeth grinding treatment.
