Sometimes chronic stress, medical conditions or medications can cause people to develop bruxism, or an unconscious clenching or grinding of the teeth. Some people clench and grind primarily in their sleep, while others do it while driving or working. This grinding can wreak havoc on your teeth, wearing them down, causing them to craze, crack and break, and ruining dental restorations. It also causes micro fracturing and sensitivity at the gum line and can even lead to chronic headaches and TMJ disorder. Renaissance Dental Center can diagnose and treat your bruxism to save your teeth and help you feel so much better. We can fit you with a custom-made bruxism appliance to protect your dentitition and relax your jaw. And if you have invested a lot of time and effort into keeping your smile beautiful and healthy, this is a great way to protect you investment!
