Teeth Grinding
โ€” Signs & Treatment

Many people grind or clench their teeth, often at night without realising it. Over time it wears teeth down โ€” but a simple night guard can protect them.

Recognising and treating bruxism

Bruxism is the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, frequently during sleep and often linked to stress. Signs include worn or flattened teeth, jaw ache, headaches, tooth sensitivity, and a partner noticing grinding sounds at night.

Left unchecked, grinding wears down enamel, cracks teeth and damages fillings and crowns. A custom-made night guard cushions your teeth and is the most common, effective protection. We'll assess the wear and make a guard that fits comfortably.

Teeth Grinding โ€” your questions answered

How do I know if I grind my teeth?
Common signs are worn or flat teeth, jaw or facial ache, morning headaches, sensitivity, or someone hearing you grind at night. We can spot the tell-tale wear at a check-up.
Is teeth grinding harmful?
Over time, yes โ€” it wears enamel, can crack teeth and damages fillings and crowns. Protecting your teeth early prevents costly damage.
What is a night guard?
A custom-made appliance you wear while sleeping that cushions your teeth and absorbs the forces of grinding, protecting them from wear and damage.
Can grinding be stopped?
Managing stress can help, but many people grind unconsciously. A night guard reliably protects your teeth while you address any underlying causes.
