Tooth Wear

Grinding the teeth can cause wear.The canines and the front incisors wear first.
The enamel can be lost exposing the soft dentine underneath.dontal disease.

When teeth are ground from side to side particularly during sleep this can wear down the front teeth and the molar cusps can be chipped and damaged.
Clenching also tenses the jaw muscles nd creates impact within the skull.
This may cause pain and headaches.

An Occlusal Splint can be used to protect the teeth and prevent contact..
