Many of us may suffer from a dental issue we might not be aware of. In fact, since it happens while we are sleeping, it often goes undetected for many Petaluma patients. You may be surprised to find out that you are experiencing bruxism, commonly called teeth grinding or teeth clenching. Dr. Yvonne Szyperski at North Bay Smiles offers patients custom mouthguards that will protect their teeth and give them relief.
We all clench or grind our teeth sometimes since it is an involuntary movement, but some people do this more often and more intensely. This is when the damage starts to occur that can affect your teeth and the gums and bones of the mouth. Here are a few tell-tale signs indicating that you may need a mouthguard for grinding teeth.
Teeth grinding in dental patients is caused by various reasons, including stress and competitive sports. Both adults and children complain of teeth-grinding issues, which can be addressed using a custom nightguard to reduce the pressure on the teeth. A custom mouthguard to use at night works to protect the teeth and also to help alleviate painful symptoms.
If you are experiencing any of these issues, Dr. Yvonne Szyperski and the team at North Bay Smiles in Petaluma, CA, can help. Our experienced dental team will talk to you about your symptoms, thoroughly evaluate your dental issues, and discuss your options. Dr. Szyperski can then determine if you are a good fit for a mouthguard for grinding teeth dental patients can utilize to fix the problem. Contact our dental office at (707) 306-8001 today to schedule an appointment to see how you can benefit from a mouthguard for grinding teeth.
