Reduce Wear & Tear from Teeth Grinding with Mouth Guards in Chester, VA
Chronic bruxism affects around 10% of adults and children, causing dental problems, headaches, jaw pain, and sleep disruptions. Our dentists at Best Smiles in Chester, VA offer custom mouth guards to alleviate teeth grinding symptoms and provide relief to those affected by this condition.
Signs of Bruxism
Many people are unaware of bruxism, which is the common term for teeth grinding during sleep. Dentists can detect enamel damage during regular check-ups, while partners may hear the grinding noises at night. Symptoms like fatigue upon waking, jaw pain, tenderness, and frequent headaches suggest the need for a dentist consultation to discuss using a mouthguard. Bruxism can be caused by factors like stress, excessive caffeine intake, bite alignment problems, oral posture, or sleep apnea.
