Bruxism Therapy in Allen, TX

Stop Teeth Grinding Before It Damages Your Smile

Do you wake up with headaches, jaw pain, or worn-down teeth? You may be experiencing bruxism, the unconscious grinding or clenching of teeth, especially at night. At Dayglow Dentistry of Allen, we offer effective bruxism therapy to protect your teeth, reduce discomfort, and improve your overall oral health.

What Is Bruxism?

Bruxism is a common condition that affects both adults and children. It can occur during the day, but it’s most common at night when you’re not aware of it. Over time, untreated bruxism can lead to:

• Worn or chipped teeth
  
• Jaw pain or tightness
  
• Headaches, especially in the morning
  
• Tooth sensitivity
  
• TMJ disorder
  

Treatment Options for Bruxism

Dr. Kim offers personalized bruxism treatments, including:

• Custom Nightguards – Comfortable oral appliances that prevent teeth from grinding together.
  
• TMJ Therapy – If clenching is linked to jaw joint issues, we may recommend TMJ therapy, which may include oral appliances or Botox (for TMJ use only).
  
• Stress & Lifestyle Guidance – Since stress can worsen bruxism, we’ll also provide strategies to reduce triggers.
