Because patients suffering from <strong>bruxism <\/strong>don\u2019t always realize that there\u2019s a problem, the incessant grinding has the potential to cause serious damage to teeth and dental work. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/\">Resnick &amp; Rosenfeld, DDS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/meet-the-team.html\">Dr. Steven J. Resnick and Dr. David S. Rosenfeld<\/a> provide patients from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/contact.html\">Edison, NJ<\/a> and the surrounding areas with comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/services.html\">general dentistry<\/a> services, including treatment for <strong>bruxism. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is Bruxism Treatment Important? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to causing damage to your teeth over time, untreated <strong>bruxism <\/strong>can lead to the development of a secondary condition known as <strong>temporomandibular joint disorder, <\/strong>or <strong>TMJ disorder. <\/strong>This is a condition that affects the delicate joints that attach your jaw to your cranium. When the muscles of the jaw and neck become tense with the stress needed to clamp down and grind, inflammation of the TMJ may occur. This can lead to severe pain, chronic migraine headaches, difficulty chewing, and a clicking sound when opening and closing the mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there is a solution to the pain and annoyance associated with <strong>bruxism <\/strong>and <strong>TMJ disorder. Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld <\/strong>can fit you with a custom oral appliance that you wear only when you sleep. Comfortable and easy to wear, this nightguard (also called a mouthguard or oral splint) protects your teeth and the muscles of your jaw throughout the night, thereby drastically diminishing your symptoms. Finally enjoy a full night of rest without dealing with the pain of <strong>bruxism <\/strong>and <strong>TMJ disorder <\/strong>the next day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule Your Consultation Today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you suspect that you may be suffering from <strong>bruxism <\/strong>or <strong>TMJ disorder<\/strong>, we invite you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/contact.html\">contact our office<\/a> today to schedule your appointment with our doctors and our caring team. We\u2019ll take the time to sit down with you, get to know you, and develop a treatment plan that addresses all of your unique needs.
