Do you frequently wake up with jaw pain or headaches? Do your teeth seem more worn down than they once did?
If you said “yes” to these questions, you might be experiencing bruxism, a condition characterized by grinding or clenching your teeth. Bruxism can lead to significant dental issues if left unaddressed.
Dr. Angela Marwaha and Dr. Masis Yeterian Jr. offer specialized bruxism treatment in Greenwich, CT, to help alleviate your symptoms and protect your oral health. With decades of combined experience and a commitment to patient-centric service, they are a trusted choice for addressing bruxism and other dental concerns.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is a condition where individuals grind or clench their teeth, often unconsciously and typically during sleep. This can result from stress, anxiety, an abnormal bite, or sleep disorders. Over time, bruxism can cause a range of dental issues, such as:
- Worn or damaged teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
- Jaw pain or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
- Headaches or migraines
Recognizing these symptoms early and seeking prompt treatment is crucial to preventing long-term damage to the teeth and jaw.
How Is Bruxism Diagnosed?
Bruxism is typically diagnosed through a combination of:
- Listening to the patient’s description of their symptoms
- Evaluating a patient’s dental history
- Physically examining the teeth and jaw
Your dentist may also look for signs such as tooth damage, wear patterns, and tender or tight jaw muscles. In some cases, a sleep study may be conducted to diagnose sleep bruxism.
Our Approach to Bruxism Treatment
At the business, we tailor our bruxism treatment to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our recommendations may include:
- Custom Night Guards: We design custom-fitted night guards to protect your teeth during sleep and reduce grinding.
- Stress Management Techniques: We offer guidance on relaxation techniques and lifestyle changes to help manage stress-related bruxism.
- Electrical Stimulation: TENS units can address bruxism by providing electrical stimulation to relax the jaw muscles and mitigate teeth grinding.
We may use one or a combination of these solutions. Our goal is to provide effective support that alleviates symptoms and improves your overall oral health.
