Bruxism Treatment in Richmond
A good night’s sleep is essential for your overall health and well-being. If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth, you may be experiencing a common but often overlooked concern—nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism). At Bridge Rd Dental, we offer custom-fitted night guards to help protect your teeth and improve your sleep quality.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a condition where you unconsciously grind or clench your teeth, often during sleep. This excessive pressure can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, and even long-term dental damage if left untreated.
Signs You May Be Grinding Your Teeth
You may benefit from a custom night guard if you experience:
- Morning headaches or jaw pain
- Worn-down, flattened, or chipped teeth
- Increased tooth sensitivity with no clear cause
- Tired or sore jaw muscles
- Tightness or discomfort in your face and temples
