What is Bruxism and are you a sufferer of Bruxism?
Involuntary habitual grinding of the teeth, typically during sleep. Bruxism is an oral Para-functional activity that commonly occurs in most people at some point in their lives.
“TMJ“ provides treatment for bruxism and other related problems.
We have years of experience in treating bruxism and its disorders. We not only treat bruxism but also:
* TMJ Treatment Services
* TMJ Disorder
* TMJ Surgery
* Craniosacral Treatment
* TMJ Therapy
Some of the manifestations of TMJ are: earache, depression, headaches, eating disorders and anxiety and frequently include chronic stress, Alzheimer’s disease and/or alcohol abuse.
Daily life, including aggressively brushing teeth, drinking liquids that are high in acid – such as soft drinks – or eating erosive foods, may cause teeth to wear unevenly. If the decline in the health of your teeth is due to bruxing, your dentist will be able to tell with a brief examination.
There are a variety of devices and services available through our office to help treat bruxism:
- Mouth guards
- NTI-tss device
A simple and cost effective dental device may be worn at home, during sleep. This device will monitor your jaw movements and will give the needed information to your dentist so he may design the most appropriate treatment.
Grinding of one’s teeth is not only annoying, it is hard on your teeth and your jaw. If you or a loved one suffers from this condition, make an appointment for a consultation at “TMJ“ to learn of the most appropriate solutions.
