People who tend to grind their teeth at night can look forward to less than ideal mornings, as they can wake up with facial and jaw pain, as well as sore and sensitive teeth. This problem, known as bruxism, can do more than just make the start of your day less pleasant – over time, grinding and clenching your teeth can do serious damage to them. The effect can change your smile for the worse by wearing down teeth, and you can potentially suffer chips and cracks to your enamel.

What might be going on in your own home care that’s making you find the brushing, flossing, and general approach to cleanings and checkups to be less than effective, satisfying, and easy? Fortunately, we have insider knowledge as dental professionals that can help you better understand why this is a struggle and how to fix it (so care becomes streamlined and simple again!).
