\"teeth<\/a>Do you wake up in the morning with a sore jaw, but you don\u2019t really know why? Does a faint headache haunt you throughout your day? If so, you should know these are two of the most common symptoms of bruxism, or nighttime teeth grinding. It\u2019s a serious condition that can have real effects on your teeth — learn more about bruxism, its causes and its treatment from your doctors at <\/span>Resnick & Rosenfeld DDS<\/span><\/a> today.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nighttime Teeth Grinding 101: Causes and Treatment<\/span><\/h3>\n

Most people grind their teeth from time to time — especially during times of stress or anxiety. Occasional bruxism is different from chronic nighttime teeth grinding, which can harm teeth and cause other oral health complications over time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Causes of Bruxism<\/span><\/h4>\n

While daytime bruxism can be caused by certain situations, most people grind their teeth at night due to a misaligned bite or missing or crooked teeth. Sleep apnea, a disorder that occurs when the airway is blocked during sleep, can also cause nighttime bruxism. If you suspect you are grinding your teeth at night, you should <\/span>schedule an appointment <\/span><\/a>with your dentist at Resnick & Rosenfeld DDS. We\u2019ll examine your mouth and jaw for signs of the condition — and if it is bruxism you\u2019re suffering from, we can quickly put you on the road to finding a solution. <\/span><\/p>\n

Treating Bruxism<\/span><\/h4>\n

Once your condition has been identified, we\u2019re able to begin developing a unique treatment plan to help you get back a full, restful night\u2019s sleep — free from teeth grinding. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bruxism is usually successfully treated with a removable oral mouthguard you wear only during sleep. Think of it as the type of mouthguard athletes wear during sports — it works the same way, protecting the surfaces of your teeth from the damaging grinding. <\/span><\/p>\n

If your bruxism is caused by the sleep disorder sleep apnea, however, you may need a different sort of oral appliance — one that holds the lower jaw and tongue in place. Whatever it is that you need, you can trust <\/span>your dentist<\/span><\/a> at Resnick & Rosenfeld to fully evaluate your unique case and put together a treatment plan that works for you.<\/span><\/p>\n
