Have you ever been told you grind or clench your teeth? When do you find this happening most often? Many people will clench their teeth when they drive, when they are mad, or when they are sleeping. It can result in jaw pain, tension in the neck, and headaches. In fact, many of the symptoms of bruxism are what help many patients begin to notice the problem. So if you suspect you are suffering from bruxism in Lake Katrine you will contact our office.

Bruxism is not the only cause of dental wear. Thus it can be difficult for our dentist to diagnose without prompting from you. Based on visual evidence alone we will not know for sure if bruxism is the leading cause of wear. If, however, abraded teeth are usually brought to your attention we hope you will remember to mention bruxism as a possible cause.
