Teeth Grinding and Nightguards:

Are you suffering from headaches or sore jaws every morning? Are your teeth worn down or causing sensitivity? If so, you may be grinding your teeth in your sleep, a condition known as bruxism. To avoid further damage and pain, we can fabricate an oral appliance, called a nightguard, to protect your teeth during sleep. A custom nightguard fits comfortably in your mouth, allows you to breathe freely, and prevents harmful subconscious habits. 

​

Constant teeth clenching and grinding can also cause problems with your TMJs (temporomandibular joints) and may contribute to TMD (temporomandibular disorder). TMD produces a variety of symptoms, including severe pain in your neck or head. The Beechmont Smiles team offers expertise in treating TMD with customized nightguard therapy.
