Bruxism Treatment in Hialeah & Miami Gardens
Bruxism Treatment in Hialeah & Miami Gardens
Bruxism (teeth grinding) damages teeth and causes jaw pain. A custom night guard from Cool Smilez protects your smile and relieves symptoms.
Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding and clenching. It affects up to 30% of adults and is most common during sleep. At Cool Smilez Family Dentistry, we provide comprehensive bruxism evaluation and treatment at our Hialeah and Miami Gardens offices, including custom night guards that protect your teeth and relieve jaw pain.
How Bruxism Damages Your Teeth
Grinding generates forces far greater than normal chewing. Over time, this wears down tooth enamel, flattens the biting surfaces, chips and cracks teeth, loosens teeth, damages dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers), and causes jaw pain and headaches.
Custom Night Guard Treatment
A custom night guard is the most effective treatment for bruxism. Made from durable acrylic, it fits precisely over your teeth and prevents them from grinding against each other during sleep. It also repositions the jaw to reduce muscle tension. Most patients experience significant relief within a few weeks.
Additional Treatment Approaches
Stress management: Counseling, relaxation techniques, and exercise. Sleep apnea treatment: Treating underlying sleep apnea often reduces bruxism. Bite adjustment: Correcting misalignment that contributes to grinding. Dental restoration: Repairing damage caused by grinding.
