Bruxism Treatment

Bruxism is a common sleep disorder that is characterized by the clenching or grinding of teeth, especially while sleeping. If left untreated, bruxism can lead to a variety of issues, which include jaw pain, headaches, and even jawbone deterioration. Fortunately, there are several treatment options to choose from, including mouth guards and splints, dental correction, biofeedback, anxiety, or stress management, and if necessary, medication.

Bruxism usually is the result from the following symptoms:

• Sore teeth and jaw when waking or throughout your day.
• You experience frequent headaches.
• Accelerated stress.
• Encountering frequent earaches.
• You are dealing with depression, stress, or anxiety.
• You have an eating disorder.

Because there are a variety of reasons why tooth wear may occur, bruxism is frequently misdiagnosed. At East Columbus Periodontic and Implant Dentistry, our entire team loves helping you develop optimal oral health as well as a functional and healthy smile.
