Night Guards in Farnham

Night Guards for Bruxism

Many people clench or grind their teeth, this is called bruxism. It usually occurs at night time, so they are often unaware of this damaging habit. Signs of bruxism can be excessive wear or chipping of the teeth, breakage of teeth, numerous historic crowns or loss of teeth because they have broken and joint or jaw muscle pain (temporomandibular joint dysfunction). It is very difficult to break this habit, but the damage to the teeth and joint can be reduced by wearing a night guard. There are several different kinds that are available, so you would need to be assessed to have the right one constructed and fitted.
