Tooth Grinding Treatment in Gardens Dental Centre
Keep your teeth in perfect shape!
Tooth Grinding Treatment—an Overview
Are you struggling with teeth that look flat and worn out, are sensitive, or even painful? You may be grinding your teeth—also known as bruxism—a common condition that can silently cause significant damage. If you’ve noticed headaches, jaw tenderness, or worn-down enamel, it might be time to address the issue. Tooth grinding treatments in Gardens Dental Centre focus on relief, protection, and prevention. We offer tailored solutions using advanced tools and lifestyle adjustments to help manage this condition and restore your dental health.
What is Tooth Grinding Treatment?
Tooth-grinding treatment procedures and dental devices that help stop you from unconsciously clenching or grinding your teeth. Can teeth grinding be treated? Yes! With time and personalised techniques, tooth grinding treatments in Gardens Dental Centre help patients eventually get rid of the habit.
Do You Need Tooth Grinding Treatment?
People of all ages can suffer from bruxism issues; it’s more common in adults, though. It often starts with inexplicable morning headaches and your partner complaining that you make annoying noises with your teeth at night. You’ll gradually notice this:
- Sensitivity of the teeth.
- Discomfort in the jaw.
- A headache
- Worn-out, flat teeth.
More severe outcomes, such as broken teeth, enamel loss, and problems with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), can be avoided by detecting and treating bruxism using some of the best treatments for teeth grinding. It improves your general oral health, reduces inflammation, and shields your tooth enamel.
Types of Tooth Grinding Treatments
Customised devices: As the best treatments for teeth grinding, custom-made night guards are among the most effective forms of treatment for teeth grinding. These thin, transparent resin mouthguards are made to fit over your upper or lower teeth with a snug fit, protecting the enamel and providing a barrier against grinding.
Stress Management Techniques: You can manage stress by employing different relaxation techniques or, if required, by getting therapy. Lowering the frequency and intensity of grinding can also be achieved with simple lifestyle changes, such as decreasing alcohol and coffee intake before bed.
Invasive treatments – bite adjustments: We can precisely alter the tooth surfaces to restore and balance the bite if misaligned or crooked teeth, poorly fitted dental appliances, or changes in your bite brought on by missing teeth are contributing factors to teeth grinding.
We regularly provide consultations and tooth grinding treatments to patients from Dulwich, Peckham, Dulwich Village, Brixton, Newlands, and Hono Oak.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
Can stress cause tooth grinding?
Indeed, one of the most frequent causes of bruxism is stress. In certain cases, the necessity for more invasive operations can be reduced or eliminated by changing one’s lifestyle or using stress-reduction techniques.
Can bruxism lead to permanent damage?
Indeed, bruxism can cause irreversible damage to your jaw, teeth, and overall oral health if treatment is not received. Prompt action is essential to preventing long-term issues.
Are night guards uncomfortable to wear?
Your teeth’s moulds and impressions are used to create personalised night guards. Unlike over-the-counter mouth guards, they precisely fit your teeth, making them comfortable to wear while you sleep.
