Teeth grinding and you

At Advanced Dental Concepts, we want you to know that if you grind your teeth, you're not alone. Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a problem experienced by millions of Americans, caused by a misaligned bite (malocclusion) or nervous tension. If the condition is left untreated, teeth grinding can actually wear down your teeth, says Dr. Weil, an American author and respected physician.

If you're a tooth grinder, we encourage you to check out an article by Dr. Weil that includes three ways to quit tooth grinding. We also encourage you to ask us for a plastic mouth guard to wear while you sleep, which can help to ease some of the side effects of bruxism.

For more information on malocclusion, teeth grinding or your ongoing treatment at Advanced Dental Concepts, please call our office. Enjoy the rest of your week!
