CUSTOM MADE MOUTH GUARDS
Bruxism Treatments - Clenching or Grinding Teeth, & TMDs
Jaw pain from clenching or grinding, lock jaw and jaw dislocation can all be prevented by a custom made mouthguard after consulting with your dentist. Some of the common conditions we treat are:
- Bruxism – this is associated with sleep conditions such as snoring and sleep apnoea, and general stress or anxiety. When you unconsciously grind or clench your teeth this is referred to as bruxism. Jaw pain from clenching or grinding your teeth can lead to severe discomfort and in some cases, the fracturing of teeth.
- Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) – a group of disorders that cause pain and dysfunction of the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint), and the muscles that control the movement of the jaw.
We can help prevent jaw pain, teeth clenching, and jaw damage by fitting you with a custom made mouth guard, which can be worn at night or in the daytime.

Finding and Treating the cause of pain
Toothache
Pain is how our body communicates that something is not right and needs attention. Toothache is no different and problems can occasionally begin with little or no warning signs. The cause of a toothache could be for a number of reasons such as inflamed gum tissue, an infection from a tooth or jaw pain – whatever the symptoms we would recommend you contact us if something doesn’t feel right – “better safe than sorry”
When Accidents happen
Broken or Chipped Teeth
If you have broken a tooth, feel that a filling may have come loose, or perhaps there is a rough area on one of your teeth, please contact us to make an appointment. Repairs to your natural teeth are straightforward and can usually be completed on the day of your appointment.
If a previous filling or a large section of your tooth has broken, we will ensure a temporary filling is placed to relieve you of discomfort and arrange a future appointment to complete your treatment.
Panic and embarrassment
Loose or Lost Crowns, Bridges or Veneers
From time to time you may find that your crown, bridge or veneer can come loose – it often happens at the most inconvenient of times when you have an important meeting or event planned and can often be quite stressful.
Please do not be alarmed – if intact these can usually be recemented during an emergency appointment. Please keep your crown, bridge or veneer safe and bring it to your appointment and we will do our best to recement it.
If you notice that your crown, bridge or veneer feel loose we advise not to leave this untreated as food and bacteria can gather in areas that are difficult for you to clean which increases the risk of decay.
