Shelby Township dentist teeth whitening

Here is the McKinley-Holloway Legacy Dentistry in Shelby Township MI guide to treating teeth grinding.

Understand
Most teeth grinding will occur while sleeping. Consistent teeth grinding might be suspected, as well as a sore jaw and dull headache in the mornings. Anxiety or stress are not the only reasons grinding may appear. It can also be related to an abnormal bite or missing or crooked teeth.

Visit Dentist
Bruxism is a medical term used for grinding teeth. Doctor Brittany McKinley-Holloway can identify bruxism through an oral examination of jaw tenderness and abnormalities in the teeth. Discuss a possible nightguard for teeth grinding.

Get Control
When tooth grinding occurs, the fear is resulting oral damage and pain. Here at McKinley-Holloway Legacy Dentistry in Shelby Township MI we support oral health in many ways. Here are three things that may help:

  1. Control caffeine or alcohol intake as these may increase tooth grinding.
  2. Avoid gum and prohibit pen or pencil chewing. This benefits the jaw as it keeps the jaw from clenching repeatedly.
  3. Allow the jaw to relax; sometimes just setting your tongue between your teeth will help your jaw relax.

Every individual in our community from Detroit to Shelby Township deserves a good night’s sleep as well as a pain-free, headache-free morning.

We are committed to healthy, happy patients. A beautiful, confident smile allows full, honest interaction with others. Don’t live with pain. Consider the benefits of implants, cosmetic dentistry, or dental implants. Ask about sedation dentistry, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, general dentistry, or dental implants. Your needs are important to us.

RelaxedGreat dentist and staff. I am hard to get fully numb, but they took their time to make sure I was fully numb and relaxed before doing work for a new crown. I didn’t feel a thing.
