Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding, which is also referred to as bruxism, refers to the clenching of the teeth together tightly or rubbing them against each other. Many people grind their teeth from time to time, but for some, the severity is such that their oral health could be harmed. Teeth grinding can happen during the day, but it can also happen during sleep. Because of this, you may not be aware that you grind your teeth.

A mold will be taken of your teeth and the night guard is designed and created.
