Do you clench or grind your teeth in stressful situations? You probably have bruxism.
Bruxism is characterized by teeth clenching and grinding that may occur unconsciously in stressful situations or during sleep. This condition is very common, as 10% of all adults have been diagnosed with bruxism.
There are multiple symptoms and signs of bruxism to look out for:
If left untreated, bruxism can seriously damage and wear down your teeth. It is important to treat teeth clenching and grinding early to prevent worn and broken teeth.
Dr. Richard Sousa offers oral appliance therapy to treat bruxism. Before treatment, Dr. Sousa will assess your oral health and discuss your budget and goals with you.
He will then create a custom appliance to be worn at night. The appliance prevents teeth from grinding and protects teeth from wear and tear. This solution alleviates the pain and discomfort that comes from teeth clenching and grinding while improving your oral health.
Alleviate symptoms of pain from teeth clenching and grinding. Stop bruxism at the source. Call Dr. Sousa for a consultation at (516) 253-6873.
