General
How can I tell if I'm clenching or grinding my teeth?
Teeth grinding or clenching can be a burdensome and painful problem. Symptoms vary amongst patients, but some of the most common are:
- Teeth that are flattened or chipped
- Worn tooth enamel
- Increased pain or sensitivity in your teeth or face
- Tired or tight jaw muscles, or a locked jaw that you have trouble closing and opening
- Pain or soreness in the jaw, neck or face
- Ear ache-like pain
- Headache
- Pain or damage from chewing the inside of your cheeks
- Sleep disruption or low quality sleep
If you suspect you may have untreated problems with teeth grinding, discuss your concerns with your dentist who will work with you to develop a treatment plan.
How often should I visit the Dentist?
We recommend every 6 months. This helps catch problems when they’re small and prevent them from growing into larger problems down the road.
