Waking up with sore or sensitive teeth, and an aching jaw, can indicate a habit of grinding your teeth. If you experience this problem, make sure you bring the matter to your dentist’s attention. They can provide you with a night guard to help you keep your teeth safe while you sleep. Because the guard is fitted for your smile, it can protect you against damage while remaining comfortable.
Teeth grinding can be associated with TMJ dysfunction, a problem with your jaw joints that can lead to discomfort, and limited function. Your dentist can identify the signs of TMJ dysfunction, and help you recover. If it is left untreated, you could experience issues with chronic headaches, as well as stiffness and discomfort in your neck and shoulders.
At Pecan Tree Dental, patients who need help with a teeth grinding habit can look forward to support that will help put a stop to this harmful behavior. You can also count on excellent treatment if you need to address physical damage caused by teeth grinding. You can make an appointment with Dr. Smith by contacting us at (972) 262-5111. We proudly welcome patients from Grand Prairie, as well as surrounding areas including Arlington, South Dallas, Cedar Hill, and Duncanville.
