Dental Bruxism Treatments in Forest Hill & Dulwich
What is Bruxism?
Bruxism refers to the habitual grinding or clenching of the teeth.
This grinding or clenching can cause significant damage to your teeth, jaw joints, and facial muscles. It is estimated that the force exerted on your teeth during bruxism is up to 20 times greater than that used during normal chewing. As a result, bruxism is a leading cause of dental pain and tooth sensitivity.
If Dr Arman Barfeie suspects you may be suffering from bruxism, he will recommend appropriate steps to relieve your symptoms and protect both your natural teeth and any dental restorations from potential damage. The presence of a grinding or clenching habit may also influence the choice of materials and restorations used when treating your teeth.
