Treatment Options for Bruxism

Stop teeth grinding habits and protect your teeth.



Do You Grind Your Teeth?

Patients who have a bad habit of grinding their teeth put themselves at risk for tooth fractures, loose teeth, and other oral health issues. We offer customized treatment for bruxism in Carlisle, PA, and have found that many patients benefit from something as simple as an occlusal adjustment (bite adjustment) or reshaping the teeth. Dr. Robert Serafin and Dr. Tamara Shore will determine what type of treatment is most appropriate for you after a quick examination of the teeth and gums.

Learn more about bruxism in Carlisle, PA, by scheduling your appointment with Dr. Serafin or Dr. Shore today!

Causes of Teeth Grinding

Stress is one of the most common causes of teeth grinding. If you have a habit of clenching your teeth when you are stressed or angry, you may be damaging your teeth without even knowing it. Some causes of this habit include:

  • Misaligned bite
  • Huntington’s disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD)

Recognize Signs of Teeth Grinding

One of the most obvious signs of a problem with teeth grinding is worn or chipped teeth. In some cases, the teeth can acquire a flattened, stump-like appearance because they have been so worn down. Other signs include:

Sores in the Cheeks
Earaches
Headaches or Migraines
Facial Pain

Treatment for Bruxism

Dr. Serafin and Dr. Shore offer several treatment options for patients with bruxism.

Lifestyle Changes

Learn More >>

Lifestyle Changes

Reducing the intake of caffeinated and alcoholic beverages can limit the habit of clenching the teeth. Performing exercises that relieve tension and tightness in the jaw can also help to some degree.

Mouth Guard

Learn More >>

Mouth Guard

Some patients may benefit from wearing a night guard while sleeping. This stops them from clenching and wearing down the teeth.

Bite Alignment

Learn More >>

Bite Alignment

A misaligned bite can make you grind your teeth unconsciously. We may be able to restore the bite with an occlusal adjustment, orthodontic treatment, tooth reshaping, or dental implants.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Learn More >>

Cosmetic Dentistry

Porcelain veneers or tooth bonding procedures to fill out or reshape a tooth can help to make the teeth more even and counteract the effects of a teeth grinding habit.
