Bruxism Treatment (teeth grinding or clenching)

There is a good chance you grind or clench your teeth at night while sleeping or will do so at some point in the future. If you know your grind or clench your teeth, suspect you might do so or would like to find out if you have this common oral health problem, dial (808) 674-9299 to schedule an appointment at our office. Our dentist will examine your teeth to determine if you have any signs of bruxism and determine if you can benefit from bruxism treatment.

There are several treatment options and strategies available to minimize or even eliminate bruxism. For one, our dentist can create a custom night guard designed for your specific mouth that you wear at night while sleeping. This mouth guard will reduce the damage to your teeth as you grind or clench them throughout the night. Additional solutions include using muscle relaxants, meeting with a physical therapist and beginning an exercise program. However, the best and quickest solution is to use a personalized mouth guard created by our dentist specifically to combat your nuanced bruxism.
