Wynnewood, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/23/2016 -- Those who have encountered a sore jaw in the morning, have popping or clicking jaws, or have been told that they grind their teeth at night are encouraged to contact Wynnewood Dental Arts in Haverford, PA right away.
Teeth grinding or jaw clenching can cause a lot of dental damage as time wears on, ultimately causing the teeth's enamel to rub off. Teeth grinding provokes fracturing, shattering, as well as sensitivity. To prevent the side effects of this condition called bruxism, it is wise to take action immediately before more damage is done.
Millions of Americans are affected by bruxism, and many do not even know it. Children and adults alike face the problem of dental damage caused by bruxism while they are asleep, subconsciously grinding and clenching. Some experience aches in facial muscles or notice that their teeth are getting worn down. Worn, broken, or chipped teeth, popping jaws, inability to fully open or close the mouth, tingling in the fingers, or chronic migraines are all indicators that it is time to seek help.
Wynnewood Dental Arts recommends that, since bruxism is caused by a misalignment of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), it is important to use an oral appliance while sleeping. This appliance stops teeth from grinding while also calming jaw muscles and stressed nerves. TMJs are the joints that connect the jaw to the skull, therefore, when they are not in alignment, TMJ dysfunction can be linked with sleep apnea.
To resolve bruxism, Dr. DeFinnis of Wynnewood Dental Arts first does a complete evaluation. It is essential to provide the proper treatment for patients suffering from TMJ dysfunction or sleep apnea, and Dr. DeFinnis is the dentist to turn to. Seek a solution now to avoid rebuilding back teeth and molars with crowns.
