Putting A Stop To Pain And Dental Damage Caused By Bruxism
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.

The effect can change your smile for the worse by wearing down teeth, and you can potentially suffer chips and cracks to your enamel.

A custom oral appliance can keep your teeth protected while you rest, so you are free from painful mornings, and no longer at risk for dental damage. (more…)
Things That Make Your Prevention Extra Challenging
Preventive dental care is supposed to be something that’s extremely easy to practice on a daily basis, on a twice-annual basis (you see us, of course!), and that will yield exceptional results.

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!).
