Why do people opt for Oral Surgery?
Protect Your Smile: If you've invested in dental repairs or cosmetic enhancements, teeth grinding may undo any hard work done. Even if there were no previous issues with your teeth, the friction of grinding could chip, crack, and weaken them. Often, this can cause flattening and expose the dentin and nerves underneath, resulting in sensitivity when eating or drinking. Over time, it is even possible to experience gum recession and loose teeth. Wearing a night guard while sleeping prevents your upper and lower teeth from rubbing together and avoiding further damage.
Reduce Discomfort: Regularly waking up in pain or feeling uncomfortable means it's time to wear a guard while sleeping. At Calistoga Dental Group, we've witnessed many patients experiencing relief after just a few days of using their guard. Sometimes, stress and tension may contribute to teeth grinding; it can be challenging to determine the underlying cause. For this reason, it's essential to consistently wear the guard to reduce discomfort and maintain oral health.
TMJ Treatment: If you're experiencing jaw pain, headaches, or face pain, call (707) 709-6058 and make an appointment with our Calistoga office immediately. TMJ disorder is a condition caused by teeth grinding and clenching that can become severe if left untreated. Early intervention with a night guard is critical to prevent cruciating pain during opening the mouth, eating, or speaking. Don't let this condition get out of control - contact us today!
