Many people have bruxism or grinding their teeth. Some people do this in good faith during the day, but the problem gets worse when you sleep at night. Grinding your teeth can lead to tooth decay, tooth loss, gum disease, or tooth decay. If it’s loud enough, loud noises as your partner sleeps can also disturb your partner’s sleep.
If you grind your teeth you should consider a night guard. Like the mouthpiece worn by athletes, the night guard provides a barrier between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep All-night protective gear is custom-designed to ensure comfort and rest. Your Toronto Dentist will take an impression of your teeth and have the night guard created by a dental lab. Night guards have a 10-year lifespan and are incredibly sturdy.
There are also things you can do to prevent tooth decay. You can train your jaw to be independent and easier than being bound. One should stop chewing or drinking other pens and so on. Alcohol and caffeinated beverages should be avoided as these increase your chances of grinding your teeth. If you think you may be grinding your teeth at night, schedule an appointment with us today.
