Bruxism
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) Treatment in Mississauga, Woodbridge, and Surrounding Areas
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism refers to the involuntary grinding, clenching, or gnashing of the teeth, often during sleep but sometimes throughout the day. If left untreated, it can lead to significant wear on the teeth, jaw discomfort, headaches, and damage to restorations or dental work. At Dental Specialists Group, our clinicians with experience in diagnosing and managing orofacial pain provide specialized care for patients in Mississauga, Woodbridge, Vaughan, Brampton, Bolton, Oakville, and Milton experiencing symptoms of bruxism.
Bruxism is often linked to stress, sleep disorders, bite imbalances, or lifestyle habits. Identifying the root cause is essential for long-term relief and protection of your teeth and overall smile.
