Grind Your Teeth? Let’s Talk

Posted by

grind your teeth? stressed man at desk sheridan wyWhen you wake up in the morning, you need to be ready to go. But if you’re starting to notice that your jaw is tense or tight when you wake up, or if you’re getting headaches immediately after opening your eyes, then it’s time to talk to your oral health team about what’s going on. This could be a sign of a habit known as bruxism, where you grind your teeth unconsciously. If this happens at night, it’s referred to as a common sleep disorder called sleep bruxism, which can really affect your smile’s appearance and performance.

At Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, Dr. Justin Coon and Dr. Cody Coon work hard to help people experience a quality smile. We understand that grinding your teeth removes tiny bits of your enamel each time, potentially changing looks and impacting oral health. For those experiencing sleep bruxism, there is a solution through oral appliance therapy, so ask if a simple night guard can help you keep your teeth safe while you sleep.

Bruxism might seem like a minor issue, but it’s certainly more. Schedule a time to talk about your smile with Grinnell Street Dental.
