Teeth Grinding, Clenching & Dental-Related Migraines
Teeth grinding and clenching can affect more than your teeth.
These habits may contribute to worn or fractured teeth, jaw discomfort, muscle tension, headaches, and dental-related migraines. Dr. Zukerberg can evaluate signs of grinding or clenching and recommend treatment based on your individual needs.
Teeth Grinding & Clenching
Teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching can be related to stress and anxiety, medical conditions such as sleep apnea, an unbalanced bite, or missing teeth. Over time, grinding and clenching may cause premature tooth wear, chipped or fractured teeth, jaw pain, headaches or migraines, and tension in the muscles of the head and neck.
A custom night guard is an effective, simple, and noninvasive treatment that can help manage teeth grinding and clenching while protecting the teeth from further wear and damage.
Dental-Related Migraines
Do you suffer from migraines or frequent headaches? In some cases, teeth grinding or jaw muscle tension may be contributing factors. We can provide a custom NTI appliance, worn while you sleep, to help relax key facial muscles and reduce migraine symptoms for appropriate patients.
