How do I know if I grind my teeth at night?

‍Symptoms such as waking with jaw pain, headaches, or noticing flat or chipped teeth are common signs. A dental exam can confirm bruxism.

Can children experience bruxism?

‍Yes. Our Pediatric Dentistry services include monitoring children for grinding and providing guidance or appliances when needed.

Are over-the-counter nightguards effective?

‍Store-bought guards may offer temporary relief, but they often don’t fit properly and can cause further issues. Custom nightguards are more effective and comfortable.

Does bruxism always need treatment?

‍Even mild grinding can cause long-term damage. Preventive treatment is recommended to protect your smile.

Will insurance cover a nightguard for bruxism?

‍Coverage varies. Our office accepts most PPO plans, Medi-Cal, and offers financing options to make treatment affordable.
