Felicia S. Mata, DMD, LTD of Loop Dental Care, LLC Banishes Bruxism Discomfort with Night Guards in Chicago, IL

Occasional teeth grinding, medically called bruxism, does not usually cause harm, but when teeth grinding occurs on a regular basis the teeth can be damaged and other oral complications can arise. Teeth grinding can be caused not only by stress and anxiety, but by sleep disorders, an abnormal bite, or teeth that are missing or crooked. At Loop Dental Care, LLC, Dr. Felicia S. Mata can prescribe patients with a custom-fitted night guard to alleviate symptoms and protect your teeth during sleep.

In some cases, chronic teeth grinding can result in a fracturing, loosening, or loss of teeth. Not only can severe grinding damage teeth and result in these events, but it can also affect your jaws, cause, or worsen TMD/TMJ. At Loop Dental Care, patients who suffer from bruxism can be provided with custom-fitted mouth protectors. These mouth guards are individually designed from an impression of your teeth and constructed in a professional laboratory based on the dentist’s instructions.

If Dr. Felicia S. Mata suspects that you have bruxism, she will try to determine its cause by asking questions about your general dental health, medications, daily routines and sleep habits. Mild bruxism may not require treatment. However, in some people, bruxism can be frequent and severe enough to lead to jaw disorders, headaches, damaged teeth and other issues.

If you suspect you are grinding your teeth, schedule a consultation to discuss your options.
