Do you frequently wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sore teeth? You may be
suffering from bruxism, a condition characterized by involuntary teeth grinding or jaw clenching—often during sleep or under stress.
At Dental Designs in Kowdiar, our skilled dental professionals are experienced in diagnosing and treating bruxism in adults, teens, and children. Using modern
diagnostic tools and personalized care, we help you manage symptoms, protect your teeth, and restore long-term comfort and function.
Teeth grinding may go unnoticed until symptoms become persistent or severe. While occasional clenching or grinding is common, chronic bruxism can lead to extensive dental and muscular complications.
Common signs and symptoms of teeth grinding include:
● Jaw and neck soreness
● Headaches or migraines, especially in the morning
● Worn, flattened, or chipped teeth
● Tooth sensitivity or pain
● TMJ (temporomandibular joint) discomfort
● Disturbed sleep or insomnia
● Fractures in dental restorations or fillings
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, an evaluation at Dental Designs can
determine if bruxism is the underlying cause and guide you toward appropriate
treatment.
One of the most effective ways to protect your teeth from nighttime grinding is with a professionally fitted night guard. These appliances are custom-made to fit comfortably over your teeth, absorbing pressure and preventing damage to enamel and jaw joints during sleep.
For patients with moderate to severe clenching, Botox injections in the masseter and temporalis muscles can help relax overactive muscle activity. This minimally invasive treatment can significantly reduce jaw tension, tooth damage, and related headaches or migraines.
In cases where grinding has already caused damage, porcelain or ceramic crowns can restore both function and appearance. These restorations are custom-designed to match your natural teeth and offer long-term protection.
At Dental Designs, we take a patient-cantered approach to oral health. Our team will work closely with you to identify the cause of your symptoms and provide a treatment plan that is both effective and minimally invasive. We combine advanced technology with compassionate care to ensure your experience is as comfortable as it is results-driven.
If you suspect you may be grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw, early treatment can prevent long-term damage and discomfort. Contact Dental Designs in Kowdiar to schedule your evaluation today. Let us help you protect your smile and regain your comfort—day and night.
