Do You Grind Your Teeth Overnight?

Posted by

Pain Jaw Omaha NEIf you wake up with discomfort and tightness in your jaw, it may be from overnight teeth grinding. This condition is known as bruxism and it is a prevalent condition for American sleepers. If you struggle with this unconscious activity, the health of your smile could be at risk. Bruxism can wear down the top of your teeth, eroding the surface material known as enamel. Your condition can also move your teeth out of alignment. Since grinding can often be repetitive, you could be left with severe damage in an otherwise healthy mouth.

An oral appliance from Pacific Hills Dental in Omaha, NE can give you a loft landing spot for your jaws overnight. This non-surgical approach aims to minimize the contact between your teeth during sleep. Without a barrier, your grinding could wear down your enamel and leave you with stubby, unattractive teeth. Speak with your provider and see how an overnight oral appliance can give you a better night of sleep and keep your enamel intact! (more…)
