Are You Waking Up with Jaw Pain?
Do you often wake up with a sore jaw or dull headache? You might be grinding your teeth at night without even realising it. Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can lead to worn teeth, increased sensitivity, and even changes in your facial appearance. Fortunately, Hume Dental Hub offers effective solutions to protect your smile and alleviate discomfort.
What Is Teeth Grinding?
Teeth grinding is the unconscious clenching or grinding of teeth, often occurring during sleep. It’s a common condition affecting both children and adults, potentially causing significant damage to your teeth and jaw if left untreated.
Managing teeth grinding is an ongoing process. We recommend regular dental check-ups every six months and prompt replacement of night guards when signs of wear appear. With proper care, you can protect your smile and enjoy restful nights. Dr Harmanpreet Chahal will work with you to identify the underlying cause of your teeth grinding and develop a tailored treatment plan.
