The effects of bruxism extend beyond the teeth, causing discomfort in the jaw, and even affecting the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), which connect the jawbone to the skull.

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, seeking treatment is crucial. Left untreated, bruxism can result in a multitude of issues, including aesthetic concerns, alterations in facial appearance, loose or chipped teeth, strain on jaw and neck muscles, tooth fractures, and more. It’s important to note that bruxism can affect individuals of all ages, including adults and children, and may be triggered by factors such as sleeping disorders, anxiety, stress, or certain medications.

At Forrestfield Dental Smiles, our experienced dentists are well-equipped to diagnose and treat bruxism. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive physical examination and an assessment of your specific symptoms. In some cases, additional tests may be recommended for a definitive diagnosis.
