Do you grind your teeth while sleeping? Although it is not uncommon, it’s something that you shouldn’t ignore. When left untreated, excessive teeth grinding (Bruxism) can lead to tooth fracture and sensitivity, headaches, jaw soreness, and sleep disorders. Lift Dental can help you treat teeth grinding with nightguards in Stillwater, MN.

What is a nightguard?

A nightguard, also called a mouthguard or dental splint, is a plastic device that covers all of your teeth. A nightguard’s primary purpose is to lessen and even out the amount of force that you create when clenching and grinding your teeth. 

When to wear a nightguard?

Even if you are not aware of it, you might be grinding your teeth during your sleep. Below are the symptoms of bruxism and signs that you need to wear a night guard:

  • Your partner hears you grinding your teeth at night
  • Teeth shifting
  • New spacing between teeth
  • Jaw pain after waking up
  • Headaches in the morning
  • Toothache or tooth sensitivity
  • Worn tooth enamel
  • Cracked or fractured teeth

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned, connect with the Lift Dental team to have your concerns addressed.
