Waking up with a sore jaw, dull headache, or a partner who's tired of your night grinding sounds?…
Waking up with a sore jaw, dull headache, or a partner who's tired of your night grinding sounds? You probably need a night guard. A few signs that confirm grinding (bruxism): Flattened or chipped tips on your canines and front teeth. Sensitivity to cold despite no cavities. A jaw that feels tired in the morning. A spouse who's mentioned the sound. Worn-down posterior teeth losing height over the years. Grinding is hard to stop because it happens during sleep, beyond conscious control. Stress is the most common trigger, but bite issues and certain medications also contribute. A custom night guard at our Maidan Garhi clinic is the standard solution. It's a thin acrylic appliance moulded to your upper or lower teeth, worn at night. It absorbs the grinding force so your teeth and jaw muscles don't take the damage. A few things to skip: over-the-counter boil-and-bite guards (poor fit, often make grinding worse), turmeric paste (not a treatment), and apps claiming to fix grinding through sleep tracking (limited evidence). Get a proper guard. Your teeth will outlast you instead of the other way around. #TeethGrinding #NightGuard #BruxismTreatment #DentistMaidanGarhi #JawPain
