Bruxism in Belmont can trigger many dental problems, including toothaches, cracked teeth, and broken veneers. This video discusses how to prevent these complications of clenching and grinding your teeth.

People often clench and grind their teeth while they sleep. As a result, they might notice the side effects of their behavior, such as jaw soreness and tooth pain. If you too suffer from these problems, see a dentist. Dentists can often spot the visible warning signs of bruxism. If your dentist sees eroded enamel or cracked teeth, he might recommend a mouthguard. A mouthguard can provide a protective barrier between your teeth. Because bruxism is normally an unconscious habit, it can be difficult to stop entirely. With regular mouthguard usage, though, you can reduce the incidence of tooth damage if you clench or grind your teeth.
