Over time the constant grinding and/or clenching can wear down the enamel to the point where softer dentin can be exposed. This can cause rapid tooth decay. Replacing just four teeth can cost thousands. Other common effects of teeth grinding include loosened teeth, breaking existing dental work (bridges, crowns, partials, etc.), extreme tooth sensitivity, worn out & or flattened chewing surfaces (including cusps and the natural contours and grooves of your dental anatomy -making chewing food difficult). If left untreated, many people will wear their teeth down to the point that they are in dire need of very expensive teeth restoration procedures. Long term teeth grinding can also cause changes in ones appearance. Jaw pain, occasional swelling of salivary glands, earaches, neck aches, hearing loss, and the notorious headaches are all familiar short & long term results of Bruxism.

Yes! There are steps you can take to try to minimize the degree of which you grind or clench. You should know that these are not guaranteed remedies but rather some things you can incorporate into your daily routine that will hopefully help. In some cases, people have been able to train themselves to stop altogether. Start by training yourself during the day. If you find that you clench your teeth together or grind during the day, put your tongue in between your teeth. Try to be aware of the habit and relax your jaw. Avoid caffeine, lots of sugar, smoking, and alcohol. It has recently been reported by researchers that taking Magnesium once a day can combat against bruxism. Stress has been linked to teeth grinding time and time again. Learn to manage your stress. Take control. Find out what is causing the source of your stress/anxiety and take positive action to resolve it. In the meantime, wear your custom fit night guard to prevent any further damage. A custom fit night guard is far less expensive than the teeth restorations you will most likely need in the future.

A custom night guard made from a dental impression of your teeth will fit every contour of your unique dental anatomy. It will not fall out and you will be able to to continue through your day or wear it at night without even noticing it. The stock types are standard one size fits all that are mass produced in a factory somewhere and lack the ability to conform to your teeth. The boil & bite or heat moldable mouth guard is a step up from the stock ones because you are able to boil the plastic in water & somewhat conform it to your teeth. Please understand the fit will be subpar to that of a true custom guard. Your boil & bite sleep guard may slide around during the course of the night. This presents a number of problems. First, recent studies have indicated that if a plastic appliance is not snapped in & truly fitted to your teeth, you may have the desire to chew on the plastic while you sleep. This can cause your bruxism to worsen! It is more effective to have a properly fitted sleep guard that hugs your teeth. Another problem is comfort. Often people that have tried the boil & bite night guards complain that they cannot sleep comfortably at night because they are still “bulky” and “uncomfortable”. Lastly, the quality of the plastic material in both the stock & boil & bite guard is not high quality. If you put much force on this cheap plastic, you’re going to grind through it pretty quickly. We use the highest quality night guard material to construct all Sentinel dental night guards. It’s the difference between getting a pair of nice pants custom tailored for you and throwing them in the dryer in hopes that they will shrink a little. When it comes to your sleep, don’t sacrifice quality. You will regret it in the morning.
