Teeth Grinding/Clenching

Teeth grinding or bruxism involves moving the jaw with the teeth held together. This results in visible wear and flattening of the teeth. Clenching is simply holding the teeth together and tightening the jaw muscles. Some of the symptoms of grinding and clenching include headaches, neck aches, jaw pain, ear pain, and sensitive teeth when eating or drinking.

Some of the symptoms of grinding and clenching include headaches, neck aches, jaw pain, ear pain, and sensitive teeth when eating or drinking.

While there is no cure to completely stop teeth grinding or clenching, treatment can reduce its frequency, decrease its impact, and relieve symptoms. The use of a mouth guard can help to protect your teeth from wearing down.

A night guard is a plastic appliance that is professionally made by your dentist. The appliance is worn at night and can either be worn on the top or bottom arch. It is designed to protect the teeth from the pressure of clenching and grinding by providing a protective cushion between the upper and lower teeth. It is perfect for patients with bruxism (clenching and grinding) and chronic jaw pain. This mouth guard can help relax your jaw and allow you to rest easy. A night guard is a simple, non-invasive, affordable treatment option for protecting your teeth and jaws from the damaging effects of bruxism

Bleeding Gums

Problems such as bleeding gums can be a sign that your gums are not being properly cared for and need more attention.

Problems such as bleeding gums can be a sign that your gums are not being properly cared for and need more attention.

Bleeding gums are most often caused by harmful plaque – and the millions of bacteria in it – found at or around the gum line being left to develop gingivitis. Gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease, may require treatment and improved oral hygiene to help eliminate it. If left untreated, bleeding gums and gingivitis can lead to a more serious form of gum disease.

If you don’t have gingivitis but still suffer from bleeding gums, don’t ignore the problem. Bleeding gums can also be caused by bleeding disorders, leukemia, vitamin K deficiency, hormonal changes, scurvy, or the use of blood thinners. If you notice bleeding from your gums, it’s best to consult with your dentist or doctor to determine the cause.

There are many ways to help improve your oral health and help eliminate bleeding gums. Start with an effective oral hygiene regimen at home, like daily brushing and flossing, to help treat and prevent gum bleeding. Also, visiting your dentist for a professional cleaning and dental exam at least twice a year can help maintain good oral health.
