Our Dental Team Can Treat Bruxism In Vancouver, BC

Bruxism is a condition that causes you to grind, gnash, or clench your teeth. It usually occurs during the nighttime, while you’re asleep. It can also happen in the middle of the day during stress or frustration. If untreated, it can lead to significant damage and pain. Fortunately, your Vancouver dentists offer bruxism treatment. It’s not something you have to endure any longer.

A few interesting bruxism statistics

Clenching or grinding can create 250 pounds of force

8-10% of adults experience bruxism.

The most common symptoms of bruxism include:

worn tooth structure

headaches in the morning
a popping sound from the jaw joint
sores insides your cheek
painful gums
damaged or sensitive teeth
exhaustion due to lack of sleep.

What bruxism treatment can look like

If you have mild bruxism, you may not require treatment. Occasional tooth grinding can happen to anyone amid extreme stress. But if it occurs nightly, then you’ll want to consider treatment. When you come in for an appointment, we’ll take a close look at your gums, teeth, and cheeks. We may recommend a custom-made nightguard to stop bruxism dead in its tracks, depending on what we see. This nightguard is very durable. If your teeth have suffered damage, we may recommend making repairs so you can feel completely confident about your smile.
