During the night some patients clench and grind their teeth – a surprisingly common condition called bruxism. Patients are often unaware they have bruxism until they become aware of the symptoms. These include:

• Jaw pain
• Facial or neck pain
• Sore teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Chronic headaches or migraines

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, contact the clinic for an examination.

Having a nightguard fitted for use at night can help stop the grinding and prevent further damage to your teeth. Nightguards are custom-made at our own on-site laboratory.
