Night grinding is a troublesome and often health-damaging condition. You may not be aware that you are grinding your teeth at night, but the symptoms will tell a different story. Headaches, jaw pain, tooth pain, fractured or unevenly worn teeth all can be caused by grinding your teeth at night. Some signs will be visible upon examination by Dr. Newbill, but it is important to mention any of these symptoms as well.

Grinding can be caused by:

• Stress, worry
• Sleep disorders
• Abnormal bite
• Missing or crooked teeth

Sleeping with a night guard can protect your teeth and help reduce or even eliminate the pain of night grinding. Creve Coeur Advanced Dentistry can custom-fit a night guard for your mouth and give you a restful night’s sleep free of grinding and pain.
