Do you wake up with jaw soreness or headaches in the morning?
You may be grinding or clenching your teeth at night — a condition called bruxism. At Burke Dental Center in Burke, VA, Dr. Nabeel Khan frequently sees patients from Burke VA, Fairfax VA, and Springfield VA who are experiencing the effects of nighttime grinding.
Over time, teeth grinding can cause serious dental problems such as:
• Worn or flattened teeth
• Cracked teeth that require crowns
• Broken fillings or restorations
• Jaw pain and TMJ discomfort
• Increased tooth sensitivity
One of the best ways to protect your smile is with a professionally fabricated custom night guard.
Unlike store-bought guards, a custom night guard is designed specifically for your bite. This makes it:
✔ More comfortable
✔ More durable
✔ More effective at protecting your teeth
Preventing grinding damage today can help you avoid more complicated dental treatment in the future.
If you think you may be grinding your teeth, we would be happy to help.
