Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Many people clench or grind their teeth, often at night or when stressed, without realising. Over time this can wear, chip or crack teeth and may be linked to jaw discomfort and headaches.
Common signs:
– worn, chipped or flattened teeth
– aching jaw muscles, especially in the morning
– headaches on waking
– a partner hearing grinding at night
How we can help:
We examine your teeth, jaw joints and muscles and talk you through the options. The most common treatment is a custom-made night guard (splint), which helps protect your teeth from wear. Where needed, we can refer you to your GP or a physiotherapist experienced in jaw problems. Other options can be discussed at your consultation.
