Drs. Ryan and James McCall of McCall Family Dentistry Provide Bruxism Relief for Patients by Creating Custom-Made Night Guards in Geneva, IL

Teeth grinding is painful and hazardous to your long-term dental health. 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 oral health complications may arise. Sleep bruxism, also known as nocturnal tooth grinding, is the medical term for clenching or grinding teeth during sleep. People who have sleep bruxism can suffer headaches, earaches, jaw pain, jaw joint disorders, and damaged teeth. When this occurs, Dr. James McCall and Dr. Ryan McCall of McCall Family Dentistry can provide patients with custom-fitted night guards to alleviate bruxism.

Teeth grinding or clenching, which may be loud enough to wake your partner, tired or tight jaw muscles, and increased tooth sensitivity are only a few symptoms that result from bruxism. In some cases, chronic teeth grinding can result in fracturing, loosening, or loss of teeth. The chronic grinding may wear teeth down to stumps. When these events happen, invasive procedures such as bridges, crowns, root canals, dentures, or even dental implants may be needed. As much as Dr. James McCall and Dr. Ryan McCall love to see your face at their dental practice, both doctors want you to keep your permanent teeth for a lifetime. This is why they create custom-fitted night guards made for you and only you to prevent your teeth grinding case from getting worse.

Night guards are very durable and can last up to 10 years. The night guard, which is very similar to a mouth guard worn by athletes, provides a barrier between your top and bottom teeth while you sleep. At McCall Family Dentistry, Dr. James McCall and Dr. Ryan McCall will take an impression of your teeth and have the night guard created by a dental lab.

If you suffer from teeth grinding and think you will benefit from a night guard, schedule an appointment with Dr. James McCall or Dr. Ryan McCall of McCall Family Dentistry.
