Many patients report that they grind their teeth, especially during the night.  This is called “bruxism” and can have a very damaging effect on the teeth.  Behavioural management of teeth grinding can be very effective during the day, but at night a splint or “nightguard” can help to release the muscles from their pattern of clenching and grinding, and prevent further tooth damage.  Ask us how we can help manage your bruxism.  Those who sleep near you will probably thank us!
