Why bruxism nightguards matter
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching can place repeated pressure on teeth. Over time, bruxism may contribute to worn enamel, small cracks, tooth sensitivity, or damage to dental restorations. Because grinding often happens during sleep, some people may not know they are doing it.
A properly fitted nightguard can help safeguard tooth surfaces from repeated contact and reduce further wear while the cause and effects of bruxism are monitored.
Who may benefit from a nightguard?
A nightguard may be considered when there are signs of repeated grinding or clenching. These signs can include flattened tooth surfaces, chipped enamel, morning jaw tiredness, or wear on dental work. Some people also notice that a family member hears them grinding at night.
Since these symptoms can have different causes, an oral examination helps our dentist assess the teeth, bite, jaw, and existing restorations before recommending an appliance.
The most common symptoms of bruxism include:
- worn tooth structure
- a stiff or painful jaw
- headaches in the morning
- a popping sound from the jaw joint
- sores inside your cheek
- painful gums
- damaged or sensitive teeth
- exhaustion due to lack of sleep.
Waking with a tired jaw or noticing worn teeth can be concerning, especially when you are unsure what happens while you sleep. Patients looking for bruxism nightguards in Downtown Eastside, Vancouver, often want a simple way to protect their teeth from repeated grinding forces.
