Are You A Teeth Grinder?

Most people can’t tell if they grind their teeth or not as it usually occurs at night, during sleep. However, experiencing constant headaches accompanied by sore jaws is a definite symptom. This means you need to visit a dentist instead of a physician, especially when the medication given is not working. A lot of people also find out from their love ones when the grinding is heard at night.

 

Why the Fix?

Upon learning that you are a grinder, having it fixed by your Kirkland WA Dentist is necessary not only for cosmetic purposes, but for overall oral health as well.

Alterations done during procedures like installing dental fillings or crowns can cause abnormal or crooked teeth. Even if your teeth feel adjusted upon leaving the clinic, it may feel unusual after a day or two due to inflammation around a tooth’s roots following the procedure.

This may lead to loosening of the tooth, which can affect your jaw’s structure. This affects your TMD/TMJ that changes the appearance of your face. 

When these events happen, it’s important to seek the appropriate treatment. Chueng D.D.S. thoroughly examines your teeth to make sure to apply the right procedure for your needs. Procedures that you may need range from bridges, crowns, root canals, implants, partial dentures, and even complete dentures.

Avoid this hassle by early detection. How? This is accomplished by visiting your Kirkland WA Dentist.
