Bruxism is the act of consciously or unconsciously clenching or grinding your teeth either during the day or while you sleep. Bruxism is considered both a medical and a dental problem. This is because it affects both the teeth and all of the structure near it, including the head.
People grind their teeth for a variety of reasons. Doctors believe that it is because of stress. Dentists say that it happens because one’s teeth are not properly aligned with each other. Whatever the cause treatment should not be delayed. Teeth grinding may not seem to be a major health issue but can lead to problems such as broken, chipped or worn teeth; broken dentures; headaches and migraines; ear ringing; sore jaw joints (TMJ); dizziness; and sore head, neck and shoulder muscles.
You will be fitted by our dentist with custom Mouth Guards to prevent you from grinding and clenching your teeth. Night mouth guards are bite pads that are worn at night as you sleep. These guards are made of high-grade plastic and should fit the teeth or mouth perfectly. This device keeps the upper teeth from grinding with the lower teeth, offering an instant solution to teeth clenching problems.

My name is Randy and I am 55 years old I have been to many dentists and have had horrible experiences, root canals gone bad crowns break due to faulty dental work now to mention the pain during and after the work was done on my teeth including a bridge that also fail. Dentistry of Bellevue has pretty much redid all the work on my teeth that was done by several other dentist. The rework and new work done on my teeth were pretty much painless during and after the work was done. The dentist and staff are the most professional and pleasant people I have ever experienced when it comes to a team of professionals. Dentistry of Bellevue also has the most up to date equipment and they have everything they need in house to do the job right... I give them 5+ stars and would recommend them for ANY dental work you may need done. Thanks Dentistry of Bellevue for all. Randy
