Tooth Grinding

Tooth grinding, or bruxism, is a condition we are seeing more of these days. Left untreated, patients risk tooth fractures, tension headaches, muscular joint dysfunction, sensitivity, not to mention the poor aesthetic of badly worn teeth.

Prevention is better than cure! If diagnosed correctly, we generally recommend the construction of a splint which is a customised device made of a special composite resin that is worn at night, or at times during the daytime to protect the teeth and muscles/ joints from the damaging effects of grinding.
