Do you practically need a crowbar in the morning to pry your jaws open after a night of teeth grinding and jaw clenching? If so, you’re not alone. Millions of patients suffer from bruxism, the clinical name for teeth grinding. Unfortunately, bruxism is a major cause of TMJ dysfunction, but Dr. Palioca offers a solution that will help you reclaim a good night’s rest.
Nightguards are a simple oral appliance that patients wear while they sleep. The durable, yet soft, vinyl Nightguard molds to your mouth’s shape and prevents you from clenching your jaws or rubbing your teeth together. Left untreated, your bruxism could cause major wear on your teeth, which will result in the need for dental work. This can all be avoided with a simple visit to our office for corrective therapy.
If you need relief from bruxism, call Dr. Palioca at Advanced Dental Practices today to learn more about Nightguards. We can help. Patients from the entire area, like those in Attleboro, Mansfield, and Franklin, know this to be true.
