Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common condition that can cause long-term damage to your teeth and jaw if left untreated. At Clinique La Rive we offer personalized solutions to protect your teeth, relieve discomfort and treat the root causes of Bruxism.
Chronic grinding can cause tooth wear, cracks, or fractures, requiring extensive restorative treatments.
Bruxism often causes tension, pain, and stiffness in the jaw and surrounding muscles.
Grinding and clenching your teeth, especially at night, can interfere with you and your partner's sleep.
We take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating Bruxism, addressing both the symptoms and the underlying causes.
We analyze your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to identify the causes of Bruxism, followed by a comprehensive examination of your teeth, jaw, and alignment.
Depending on the severity of your Bruxism, we offer adapted solutions, such as custom mouthguards and advice to reduce contributing factors.
We ensure regular follow-up to adapt the treatment and prevent recurrences.
We examine your teeth for signs of wear, flattening, or cracks caused by grinding.
We assess your jaw muscles to identify pain, stiffness, or movement limitations.
We analyze teeth alignment or bite problems that could contribute to Bruxism.
We discuss your sleep patterns to determine if the squeak mostly occurs at night.
Since stress is a common cause of Bruxism, we are evaluating lifestyle factors that may contribute to this condition.
