Do your jaw muscles feel stiff or tired in the morning? Do you have difficulty opening your mouth wide, or are your teeth sensitive to cold drinks? If so, you may be clenching your teeth or grinding your teeth at night – a medical condition called bruxism.  Gilbertson Family and Esthetic Dentistry provides relief from , bruxism, teeth grinding and tooth sensitivity with night guards. 

Grinding your teeth may cause your tooth enamel to wear away at a rapid pace to the point that your teeth may eventually be destroyed. One way to treat bruxism is by wearing a custom-made night guard. Night guards are easy to insert and remove, and wearing one is a cost effective way to prevent teeth grinding and avoid more expensive treatment such as crowns, bridges, implants or dentures that may be needed to repair or replace worn and damaged teeth. In addition, wearing a night guard will help relieve head, neck, jaw joint and shoulder pains caused by teeth grinding.

At Gilbertson Family Dentistry we want to treat your symptoms so you have relief from your pain and to prevent issues caused by night teeth grinding.   Contact us today for an assessment of your dental health.  We are a Family dentistry in Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona.
