Clenching & Grinding Treatment in East Sussex
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching, also known as bruxism, can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and disrupted sleep. Many people are unaware they grind their teeth until symptoms develop.
At our Robertsbridge dental practice, we assess the causes and effects of clenching and grinding and provide tailored treatment options to protect your teeth and relieve discomfort. Solutions may include custom-made night guards, bite assessments, and advice to help reduce strain on your teeth and jaw joints.
Protect Your Smile with a Custom-Made Sports Mouthguard
A custom-fabricated sports mouthguard is custom designed to fit precisely over your teeth and gums, providing optimal comfort, retention, and protection during physical activity. Unlike over-the-counter alternatives, a bespoke mouthguard is individually crafted from detailed impressions of your mouth, ensuring a superior fit and enhanced shock absorption.
Custom mouthguards help dissipate and absorb traumatic forces that could otherwise result in dental injuries such as fractures chips, displaced, or avulsed (knocked-out) teeth. They also provide protection to the surrounding soft tissues, reducing the risk of lacerations and other oral injuries during contact sports.
Clinical evidence suggests that a properly fitted mouthguard may help reduce the severity of dentofacial trauma and can contribute to minimising the impact of heavy blows to the jaw, potentially lowering the risk of certain concussion-related injuries.
Our experienced dental team will custom design and fabricate a mouthguard specifically for your oral anatomy, ensuring maximum protection, so you can participate in sport with confidence while safeguarding your smile.
