Tooth Grinding- Manage now or regret later

Many patients we see have issues with tooth grinding (bruxism). Left untreated, patients can suffer muscular and joint pain, tension headaches, as well as excessive tooth wear and sensitivity. This can be very time consuming and expensive to address if ignored.

The provision of a professionally fitted occlusal splint that is worn primarily at night is first line management for grinding. Prevention is always better than cure! A splint can make a huge difference to your mouth. Call us today on (03) 5134 1311 to make an appointment.
