While each case of bruxism will be different and vary in severity, there are a few symptoms that you should look out for. These include:
There’s no cure for bruxism, but it can be treated. First of all, it’s important that you evaluate your stress levels, which can help with the frequency and severity of the symptoms. Next, you should consider having a custom night guard made. These are accessories you wear over your top teeth that will prevent the jaws from grinding or clenching against one another. Night guards help with the symptoms of bruxism and prevent any further damage from being done.
If you’re experiencing the symptoms of bruxism, it’s important to make an appointment with your regular dentist to determine if a night guard is right for you.
