How do I know if I grind my teeth?

Common signs include waking with jaw pain or headaches, worn or flattened teeth, tooth sensitivity, chipped or cracked teeth, and your partner noticing grinding sounds at night. Your dentist can identify grinding damage during a routine check-up even if you are unaware of the habit.

How much does a mouth guard cost at Tower Dental?

What is the difference between a custom mouth guard and a shop-bought one?

Custom guards are made from precise impressions of your teeth, providing a perfect fit that stays in place comfortably all night. Shop-bought guards are generic, bulky, uncomfortable and often fall out during sleep. The protection they offer is minimal compared to a professionally made guard.

Can teeth grinding be cured?

Bruxism is often linked to stress, anxiety or sleep disorders and may not be fully curable. However, a custom night guard protects your teeth from damage, and addressing underlying causes (stress management, sleep assessment) can reduce the frequency and severity of grinding.

What damage can teeth grinding cause?

Untreated grinding can wear teeth down to stumps, crack or fracture teeth, cause TMJ disorders (jaw joint pain), persistent headaches, ear pain and disturbed sleep. Early intervention with a custom guard prevents this damage from progressing.

Do you treat TMJ and jaw pain at Tower Dental?

Yes. TMJ disorders are often linked to bruxism. We assess your jaw joints, bite and muscle tension as part of a grinding assessment. Treatment may include a custom bite splint, bite adjustment, or referral to a specialist for complex cases.
