Simply Smiles, P.A.

  Hello and Happy Smiles to my "Youth Fairy Squad" members!   Has anyone else been feeling a bit stressed out lately? I have certainly noticed a large increase in the amount of patients that are clenching and/or grinding their teeth. A lot more broken teeth, sensitive teeth, headaches and broken fillings have been showing up in my chair this past year. Clenching and grinding are all habits that are often done subconsciously and are thus very hard to stop. They can cause microfractures in your enamel, cold sensitivity, pain in the face, pain in the TM joints, headaches, and often complete tooth fracture. Even neck and shoulder pain, earaches and ringing, and eye pain can be contributed to clenching and grinding your teeth.   Wearing a nightguard or bruxism appliance will protect your teeth and joints from the wear and tear from this habit, but they do not stop the problem. And most people actually clench and grind as much, if not more, during the day as they do at night....
