Waking with jaw tension, headaches or sensitive teeth? You may be clenching or grinding your teeth—a condition known as bruxism.
Over time, bruxism can contribute to worn, cracked or fractured teeth, damaged restorations, facial pain and discomfort in the jaw joint (TMJ). It often happens during sleep, so many people do not realise it is occurring until symptoms develop.
At Mason Square Dental, we can assess your teeth, jaw and symptoms, then discuss appropriate management options. For established sleep bruxism, a custom occlusal splint may help protect teeth by reducing direct tooth-on-tooth contact while you sleep.
Don’t ignore persistent jaw pain, morning headaches or changes to your teeth. Book an assessment with our team. Learn more: https://masonsquaredental.com.au/service/bruxism
