Treatment for Bruxism or Teeth Grinding

Bruxism is a condition characterized by the grinding or clenching of the teeth, often occurring during sleep. It can cause a number of problems, including tooth damage, jaw pain, and difficulty sleeping. At the Core Smiles NoMad office in New York City, our expert dentists are well-equipped to diagnose and treat bruxism in order to improve the health and comfort of our patients.

What Causes Teeth Grinding?

There are a number of factors that may contribute to the development of bruxism, including stress, anxiety, and certain medications. In some cases, it may be related to an underlying medical condition such as sleep apnea. If you are experiencing jaw clenching, nighttime teeth grinding, or other symptoms of bruxism, it is important to see a bruxism specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment. At Core Smiles dental office, our bruxism specialists are highly trained and experienced in treating this condition, and can provide personalized treatment plans to help alleviate the discomfort and potential long-term dental damage caused by bruxism.

How We Treat Bruxism

The first step in treating bruxism is to identify the underlying cause. Our dentists will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw, and may recommend additional tests such as a sleep study to help determine the cause of your grinding or clenching.

Once the cause of bruxism has been identified, our dentists will work with you to develop a treatment plan. This may include lifestyle changes such as stress management techniques, as well as the use of a mouthguard or other dental appliance to protect the teeth from damage. In some cases, medications or Botox injections to decrease muscle tension may be prescribed to help reduce grinding and clenching.
